Linda Fairstein's 11th mystery in the Alex Cooper series, Lethal Legacy, was published last week with the Assistant District Attorney summoned to an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side to investigate an assault. There she finds a neighbor convinced that the young woman was attacked, but the terrified victim, a conservator of rare books and maps, refuses to cooperate with investigators. Then another woman is found murdered in that same apartment with an extremely valuable book, believed to have been stolen. As Alex pursues the murderer, she is drawn into the strange and privileged world of the Hunt family, major benefactors of the New York Public Library and passionate rare book collectors.
Barnes & Noble has graciously allowed us to post an interview with author Linda Fairstein. Conducted by host Molly Pesce, Fairstein shares her experiences as the former head of the Sex Crimes Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney, and her extensive knowledge of the legal system that she has used to chronicle Alex's story through a string of bestsellers.
