The glitzy reception at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art should have been a welcome evening off for Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper. But the announcement of a cooperative exhibition with the American Museum of Natural History is overshadowed by a gruesome discovery: in an ancient sarcophagus bound for a show abroad, customs officials have found the body of a young woman. Katrina Grooten was a quiet, studious, hard-working intern at the Cloisters, the magnificent but foreboding home of the Museum’s collection of medieval art. According to its records, Katrina had left her job several months earlier to return to her native South Africa: her eerily preserved body is grisly proof she’d never made it home. And the white lines on her fingernails are the telltale sign of her killer’s modus operandi: arsenic poisoning. But why would anyone want Katrina dead? As Alex and NYPD Detective Mike Chapman begin their investigations, they encounter an establishment whose culture is as curious as the exhibits they display, and whose secrets and rivalries are as ancient. And then, in the depths of the museum, they discover a number of mysterious vaults, whose bones hold the clues to Katrina’s murder. . . Impeccably plotted, grippingly authentic and brilliantly engrossing. Linda Fairstein’s latest Alex Cooper thriller will delight old and new fans alike. * ‘Raw, real and mean. Linda Fairstein is wonderful’ PATRISHA CORNWELL
