Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the exciting ninth Alexandra Cooper legal thriller from bestseller Fairstein (after Death Dance), the Manhattan prosecutor is confronted with the trial lawyer's greatest fear—a witness who's destroyed on the stand. When the defense attorney shows that Kate Meade, the lead witness in Cooper's circumstantial case against Brendan Quillian for the murder of his wife, Amanda, has concealed her affair with the defendant, this revelation of Meade's potential bias has a devastating effect on the prosecution's case. As Cooper struggles to recover, the case takes a whole new twist when a fatal explosion in New York City's third water tunnel, which is under construction, suggests that Amanda's death is connected with other violent acts in the Quillian family's past. While Cooper may engage in a few too many action sequences for legal purists, the crisp writing and Fairstein's enviable capacity to translate her own experience as a prosecutor into an accessible plot puts this series a cut above most entries in this crowded subgenre.

From AudioFile
The ninth in the Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan assistant D.A., mystery series tries hard to please and causes pulses to beat harder in places but, overall, is forced and obvious--and a jumble of two plots. A rising young businessmans murder of his wife and an explosion underground in one of the citys water tunnels are connected. Blair Brown sounds like she doesnt have much enthusiasm for the plot or characters, though she fares better with the men than the women, managing to give them body, volume, and energy. Also, she has a habit of dropping her voice at the ends of sentences, which is frustrating to the listener. One plus is that author Fairstein, an ex-prosecutor, offers fascinating insider tidbits in legal maneuvering. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
