Book Description:
Newly promoted to detective first-grade with the NYPD, Jane Bauer, is back to work after a nearly fatal run-in with a killer. But while she’s happy to be back on the job, her new assignment–another cold case–seems to hold little promise of being solved.Members who requested this book also requested:
Eight years ago, Anderson Stratton, a schizophrenic, was found dead of starvation in his apartment. Nothing on the scene indicated foul play, and although he left no note, the death was ultimately ruled a suicide. Stratton’s well-connected sister, Flavia Constantine, never accepted that conclusion, and has insisted that the case be reopened. But in their investigation, Jane and her team stumble upon another grisly suicide–and realize that the two may very well be connected. As her inquiry intensifies, Jane is led to a shocking and horrible truth–and once again finds herself on the threshold of death.

Second in the series and once again Harris takes the plot in several directions, eventually leading to a surprising but, satisying conclusion.

Sharon G. (Excellent book, I have enjoyed this series, Lee Harris gives the in's on working cold cases this is a very believable book.
This is the second in the Jane Bauer series. Jane and her NYPD partners solve cold cases. It starts a bit slow, but picks up and has a good mystery.
Robin B. from SAN DIEGO, CA wrote on 4/3/2007...Good entry in series.
Second book in a great series, highly recommended, and don't miss out on Murder in Hell's Kitchen either!
I am new to the Manhattan Mysteries, but so far I have enjoyed them all. Tight writing, good police procedural without being dry, interesting twists, although I felt in this book that the final chapter (twist) was unnecessary...
Not quite as engaging as some of the Manhatten Murder Mysteries but still a good book for a murder mystery fan.
Great story... gets more involved as it goes along..
I enjoyed this very much having just finished it. Jane Bauer is a real addition to the "police procedural" genre
Marcy M. (Second book in the Jane Bauer series. I really enjoyed both book, and especailly the nicelittle twist at the ends!
Newly promoted to detective first-grade with the NYPD, Jane Bauer is back to work after a nearly fatal run-in with a killer. She is happy to back on the job, but she has little hope of solving her new case--but then things start moving right along.
