false <![CDATA[Lethal Legacy (Alexandra Cooper Series #11) ]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1245301678m/6100520.jpg 4597394 6 When Assistant District Attorney Alex Cooper is summoned to Tina Barr’s apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, she finds a neighbor convinced that the young woman was assaulted. But the terrified victim, a conservator of rare books and maps, refuses to cooperate with investigators. Then another woman is found murdered in that same apartment with an extremely valuable book, believed to have been stolen. Alex discovers that the apartment belongs to a member of the wealthy Hunt family, longtime benefactors of the New York Public Library. As Alex, Mike, and Mercer meet each member of the eccentric family, they like them less and less. But does that mean they could be capable of murder? The search for the answer leads them to forgotten underground vaults in lower Manhattan where the Hunt patriarch took his greatest secrets to the grave—literally. In this beguiling mix of history and suspense, the New York Times bestselling author of Killer Heat truly outdoes herself as she takes readers on a breathtaking ride through the valuable first editions, lost atlases, and secret rooms and tunnels of the great New York Public Library. 4647060 10 2 2009 Lethal Legacy: A Novel total:363|5:56|4:131|3:129|2:42|1:5| 363 1280 581 107 5 1 false false Wed Jan 07 10:36:35 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 31 08:11:09 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 07 10:36:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 18:11:14 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 18:11:40 -0700 2009 A refresher: Alex is an ADA attached to the NYPD sex crimes unit.
