Cold Hit
On a steamy August evening, Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper is called to a crime scene. The body pulled from the water is that of a young woman with her hands and feet bound to a ladder. Her elegant clothes and manicured nails suggest affluent connections, but just how well-connected she is surprises even Alex. Soon she and her NYPD detective colleagues are hunting for a killer in a world where priceless art meets big money in a lethal mix...
The Deadhouse
University professor Lola Dakota's abusive husband is finally stopped when the police hear of his plans to hire a hitman and set a trap for him. It goes well, and he is soon safely behind bars. But less than a couple of hours later Lola is murdered. Alex Cooper is brought in to help, and finds herself in the strange world of academia at Columbia University. Amongst all the usual scandal is an unusual research site on an island near Manhattan - the remains of a Victorian penitentiary and morgue - the Deadhouse.
