New York City's oldest and largest medical center is the scene of a ghastly attack: top neurosurgeon Gemma Dogen is found in her blood-soaked office, where she has been sexually assaulted, stabbed, and designated by the cops as a "likely to die." By the time Alex has plunged into the case, it's a high-profile, media-infested murder investigation with a growing list of suspects from among those who roam the hospital's labyrinthine halls. As Alex's passion to find the killer intensifies, she discovers this hospital is not a place of healing but of deadly peril -- and that she is the next target for lethal violence.

Linda Fairstein's books are really good books. They keep you guessing until the end.

Dark and wonderful reading. The author is a former sex-crimes prosecutor for New York City and brings "riveting authenticity" to her novels. A well known doctor is sexually assaulted, stabbed and designated by the cops as "likely to die" and our assistant DA Alexandra Cooper soon discovers that the hospital's halls are not a place of healing but of deadly peril and that she is the next target.
