Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper is back, trying to find a killer linked in some way to Grand Central Terminal before he kills again. As with all of Fairstein's Alex Cooper books, this one gives you history and trivia about New York City along with a rip-roaring mystery. Alex, along with detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, are on the trail of a serial killer. The first body is found in the Waldorf Astoria but strange marks, resembling train tracks, have been carved into the body. The second corpse moves the investigation closer to Grand Central, and the third actually takes place in the subterranean city beneath the station. Adding to the urgency of stopping a killer is the fact that the President of the United States will be arriving at Grand Central in only a few days. Alex's relationship with Mike Chapman, which began in the last novel, is a sub-conflict throughout the book.
Fairstein's rock solid research brings Grand Central Terminal alive for the reader, and the mystery keeps you turning the pages. I highly recommend this book.
