New York Times bestselling author and famed former Manhattan prosecutor Linda Fairstein delivers a chilling new Alexandra Cooper thriller, in which Alex matches wits with the master of detective fiction himself — Edgar Allan Poe...
Workers demolishing a nineteenth-century brownstone where Poe once lived discover a human skeleton standing — entombed — behind a brick wall. When assistant district attorney and sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper hears about the case, it strikes her as a classic scene from Poe's fiction...except that forensic evidence shows this young woman died within the last twenty-five years.
Meanwhile, Alex is furious at the news that an old nemesis may be preying on women once again. The Silk Stocking Rapist first struck four years ago, leaving a string of victims in his wake, then abruptly disappeared before Alex and the NYPD could identify him. Now, with improved forensic technology and a national DNA databank to draw from, a fresh attack may give Alex a new lease on many old crimes, just in time to beat the statute of limitations.
Masterful and exhilarating, this heady thriller combines dramatic New York City lore and the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe with the authentic legal and forensic detail that only Linda Fairstein can offer. Entombed is electrifying crime writing at its very best.

      New York City sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper investigates two crimes, a rape and a murder, which at first appear to be related. Complications arise from the discovery of a corpse found entombed in the walls of a home connected to Edgar Allan Poe. The search leads to a mysterious club of Poe scholars, the Bronx Botanical Gardens, the United Nations, and some chilling near-death experiences. Office politics and personal tensions pepper the plot. Blair Brown is convincing as Cooper, reading with a good balance of emotional intensity and restraint while keeping the pace brisk. With enough twists to keep curiosity aroused, a likable cast of characters, and a fine reader, this will please old fans and win new ones for the Cooper series. E.S.

      After four years, the Silk Stocking Rapist is back stalking the Upper East Side, and the skeleton of a woman is found entombed in a brownstone once occupied by Edgar Allan Poe. Manhattan Sex Crimes Prosecutor Alexandra Cooper and her indispensable team, Mercer Wallace and Mike Chapman, face a double dose of challenging mysteries. Linda Fairstein builds a complicated scenario enhanced by classy plotting and crisp writing. Barbara Rosenblat delivers a stunning series of characters. She dispenses Fairstein's well-researched historic, geographic, and literary lore brilliantly, and when Alex is confined in a coffin-like box, Rosenblat's performance is, quite literally, breathtaking.
