    <![CDATA[<p> In this bestselling debut novel of &quot;riveting authenticity&quot; <em>(Vanity Fair),</em> Linda Fairstein brings to life a gritty, fascinating world as only an insider can. Patricia Cornwell knows the morgue; John Grisham knows the courtroom; but no one knows the inner workings of the D.A.'s office like Linda Fairstein, renowned for two decades as head of Manhattan's Sex Crimes Unit. Now her expertise, insight, and sharp wit entwine in a page-turning thriller. <p> Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex-crimes prosecutor, awakens one morning to shocking news: a tabloid headline announcing her own brutal murder. But the actual victim was Isabella Lascar, the Hollywood film star who sought refuge at Alex's Martha's Vineyard retreat. Was Isabella slain by a stalker -- or was Alex herself the intended target? In an investigation that twists from lower Manhattan to the chic Upper East Side, Alex has to get into the killer's head before the killer gets to <em>her.</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[This critically acclaimed, explosive thriller is a book only prosecutor Linda Fairstein could write. Patricia Cornwall knows the morgue; John Grisham knows the courtroom; but no one knows the inner workings of the D.A.'s office like Linda Fairstein, renowned for two decades as head of Manhattan Sex Crimes Unit.  Now that world comes vividly to life in a brilliant debut novel of shocking realism, powerful insight, and searing suspense.<br/><br/>Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex crimes prosecutor, awakens one morning to shocking news: a tabloid headline announcing her own brutal murder. But the actual victim was Isabella Lascar, the Hollywood film star who sought refuge at Alex's Martha's Vineyard retreat. Was Isabella targeted by a stalker or - mistaken for Alex - was she in the wrong place at the wrong time? In an investigation that twists from the back alleys of lower Manhattan to the chic salons of the Upper East Side. Alex knows she'sin final jeopardy...and time is running out.  She has to get into the killer's head before the killer gets to <em>her</em>.]]>

    <![CDATA[This critically acclaimed, explosive thriller is a book only prosecutor Linda Fairstein could write. Patricia Cornwall knows the morgue; John Grisham knows the courtroom; but no one knows the inner workings of the D.A.'s office like Linda Fairstein, renowned for two decades as head of Manhattan Sex Crimes Unit.  Now that world comes vividly to life in a brilliant debut novel of shocking realism, powerful insight, and searing suspense.<br/><br/>Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex crimes prosecutor, awakens one morning to shocking news: a tabloid headline announcing her own brutal murder. But the actual victim was Isabella Lascar, the Hollywood film star who sought refuge at Alex's Martha's Vineyard retreat. Was Isabella targeted by a stalker or - mistaken for Alex - was she in the wrong place at the wrong time? In an investigation that twists from the back alleys of lower Manhattan to the chic salons of the Upper East Side. Alex knows she'sin final jeopardy...and time is running out.  She has to get into the killer's head before the killer gets to <em>her</em>.]]>

In fact, to use an expression of my friend LJ, the protagonist was too dumb to live.  I saw what was coming long before she did.
