About this ebook
New York Times–Bestselling Author: After a surgeon’s murder, a prosecutor hunts a predator who haunts a hospital’s hallways in this “whopping whodunit” (People).
The real-life work of sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein brought “riveting authenticity” (Vanity Fair) to her bestselling debut novel, Final Jeopardy. Now Fairstein’s fictional counterpart—smart and savvy assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper—returns in a “Grisham-esque page-turner” (Time).
New York City’s oldest and largest medical center is the scene of a ghastly attack: top neurosurgeon Gemma Dogen is found in her blood-soaked office, where she has been sexually assaulted, stabbed, and designated by the cops as a “likely to die.” By the time Alex has plunged into the case, it’s a high-profile, media-infested murder investigation with a growing list of suspects from among those who roam the hospital’s labyrinthine halls. As Alex’s passionate search for the killer intensifies, she discovers this hospital is not a place of healing but of deadly peril—and that she’s the next target for lethal violence.
A high-style thriller that sweeps from Manhattan to London to Martha’s Vineyard, Likely to Die is a “fearsomely authentic whodunit” from a justice system insider and provocative novelist (Newsday).
“A first-rate mystery novel by someone who writes about what she knows and truly knows about what she writes.” —New York Daily News
