An Alexandra Cooper Mystery
Teaming up with longtime friends -- NYPD's Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace -- Assistant DA Alex Cooper investigates the disappearance of world-famous dancer Natalya Galinova, who has suddenly vanished backstage at Lincoln Center's Metropolitan Opera House -- during a performance.
"Fairstein, perhaps because she's following the outline of an actual case, manages to make the proceedings both muddled and shrill. Don't weep for Alex. She's done better work and is sure to do so again." - Kirkus.
"A real winner." - Library Journal.
"Starred Review. The book's added punch comes from Fairstein's Phantom of the Opera-like re-creations of the labyrinthine environs of the Met, beneath and behind the stage. A great read." - Booklist.
"Despite the overcrowded plot, this whodunit manages to pirouette to a satisfying climax just as the curtain drops." - Publishers Weekly.
