The Silk Stocking Rapist made flashy fodder for the press, targeting New York's wealthier women. And then he just disappeared, leaving the police with only a composite sketch of his appearance. His victims' descriptions made him look almost cherubic. Now, four years later, he's back in Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper's territory. Yet she and detective Mike Chapman have only science, in the form of DNA, to help them. But suddenly science is sidelined by history, with the macabre discovery of a woman's body walled up in a historic house. It's the house where Edgar Allen Poe penned an exquisite meditation on passion and revenge - a tale of being buried alive ... But this corpse, now a skeleton, was nothing to do with Poe. It dates from 1978. And then the Silk Stocking Rapist strikes again. Or does he? This time the victim is murdered. Her death at least means that her greatest fear will never be realised - her terror of being buried alive. A terror, as Alex discovers, that dates back to about 1978. Are the cases linked? Or is someone trying to silence the witness to murder committed a quarter of a century before? Another death robs Alex of a possible clue, but then she discovers that the victim's last phone call was to the Raven Society, a secretive organisation dedicated to the memory of Edgar Allen Poe... Alex majored in literature, but nothing was such a hard study as this. Nor, as she and Mike are drawn ever deeper into a case that embraces the very fabric and history of New York, was anything quite so personally dangerous... * Linda Fairstein is a former prosecutor and America’s foremost expert on sex crimes. Her first novel, Final Jeopardy, which introduced Alexandra Cooper, was published in 1996. Since then, Linda Fairstein, who lives in New York and Martha’s Vineyard, has written several Alex Cooper thrillers. Her sixth, The Kills, was an international bestseller. Entombed is her seventh.
