The book jacket says it all: "From its Laura-like opening, which hooked me completely, to its astonishing denouement, I was held hostage by Linda Fairstein's Final Jeopardy. This is no I-guess-this-must-be-what-it's-like fantagy of how the criminal justice system operates. Final Jeopardy is a smart and gutsy insider's whodumit. But the novel has more than authenticity going for it. It's got a terrific protagonist: Alexandra Cooper is a tough, dedicated assistant district attorney and a warm-hearted, funny and insightful dame. Linda Fairstein has done one hell of a job."
