'Working Night Watch, Coop. All the craziest shit happens on Night Watch.' Forty-eight hours after New York Assistant D.A.

Before the investigation begins, Alex is summoned back home to handle a high profile case. Mohammed Gil-Darsin, Head of the World Economic Bureau, has been accused of attacking a maid in his hotel. As the scandal unfolds, Alex finds her attention torn between preparing the alleged victim to testify and a murder case with ties too close to home. International bestselling author Linda Fairstein returns with a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller that takes Alexandra Cooper into the dark underside of New York City. LIKE ASSISTANT DA ALEX COOPER, LINDA FAIRSTEIN WAS ONCE A TOP NEW YORK CITY PROSECUTOR. CRIME NOVELS CAN'T GET ANY MORE REAL.

Review:

"The Queen of Intelligent Suspense." -Lee Child

"Alex Cooper is a fascinating heroine...based on the equally fascinating life of her creator." -"O, The Oprah Magazine"

-Maureen Corrigan, NPR.org

"The historical facts sprinkled with the compelling crimes and characters create a worthwhile read that fans of the "Law and Order "TV series will savor. After finishing "Silent Mercy", readers will eagerly seek out her other novels."--The Associated Press
