With nothing but her Rhubarb Frosted donuts and her keen sense of adventure, she determines to solve the case before the killer can strike again. But the closer Heather gets to the truth, the worse Amy's behavior becomes — her paranoia is at an all-time high. And Ryan, her detective husband is adamant that Heather absolutely must not get involved this time because this case is too close to home.

Heather must choose: delve into the donut hole or leave this case as uncooked batter — either way, there's a mystery to sleuth, and this one is the trickiest so far.

Valentine flies back home to lend his expertise as a crime scene photographer and help out a friend who's in a jam. Instead he finds a compromised crime scene, a hidden stash of cash, and trouble. A Junkie stripper and her mother — a woman who ushered Valentine into manhood — a mob boss racked with jealousy and homicidal rage and assorted low-lifes all roll out the unwelcome mat.

It's all blood, money, sex and lies … sealed with a cougar's kiss.

Nicolas Fox, international con man, thief, and one of the top ten fugitives on the FBI's most-wanted list, has been kidnapped from a beachfront retreat in Hawaii.

It isn't long before Nick's covert partner, Special Agent Kate O'Hare, is in hot pursuit of the crook who stole her con man.

Nick and Kate have to mount the most daring, risky, and audacious con they've ever attempted to save a major U.S. city from a catastrophe of epic proportions.

Killer Look by Linda Fairstein

An Alexandra Cooper Novel (18th in series)

Publisher: Dutton

Publication Date: July 26, 2016

SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR

New York City is one of the fashion capitals of the world, well-known for its glamour and style. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the runway, where American haute couture continually astounds with its creativity, daring, and innovation in the name of beauty. Yet high fashion means high stakes, as Alex Cooper quickly discovers when businessman and designer Wolf Savage is found dead in an apparent suicide, mere days before the biggest show of his career. When the man's daughter insists Savage's death was murder, the case becomes more than a media sensation: It is a race to find a killer in a world created entirely out of fantasy and illusion.

With her own job at the DA's office in jeopardy, and the temptation to self-medicate her PTSD with alcohol almost too strong to resist, Alex is not anyone's first choice for help. But she is determined to uncover the grime — and the possible homicide — beneath the glitz. Along with detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex must penetrate the twisted roots and mixed motives among the high-profile players in the Garment District. The investigation takes the trio from the missing money in Wolf Savage's international fashion house to his own recovery from addiction; from the role of Louisiana Voodoo in his life to his excessive womanizing; and to the family secrets he kept so well-hidden, even from those closest to him — just as things are about to get deadly on the catwalk.
