Final Jeopardy
The crusading longtime chief of Manhattan's Sex Crimes Prosecutions Unit brings to her exciting first novel the same passion and insights into the criminal and crime-busting minds that marked her memoir, Sexual Violence (1994). Fairstein also brings herself to the novel-or at least an alter ego of a narrator, Alexandra Cooper, who's also a middle-aged blonde heading the borough's prosecution of sex offenders.
Nero Wolfe applies his detection skills to crack the case of a poisoned health nut, the death of a policeman in a barber shop, and a comic killer who makes a joke out of murder.
Two doctors suspect something is very wrong at the enormous medical center where they work. And soon they will put their careers--and their lives--in deadly jeopardy, as they penetrate the eerie inner sanctums of a medical world gone mad.
