Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author and famed former Manhattan prosecutor Linda Fairstein delivers a chilling Alexandra Cooper thriller, in which Alex matches wits with the master of detective fiction himself -- Edgar Allan Poe. . .

Workers demolishing a nineteenth-century brownstone where Poe once lived discover a human skeleton standing -- entombed -- behind a brick wall. When assistant district attorney and sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper hears about the case, it strikes her as a classic scene from Poe's fiction except that forensic evidence shows this young woman died within the last twenty-five years. . .

Meanwhile, Alex is furious at the news that an old nemesis may be preying on women once again. The Silk Stocking Rapist first struck four years ago, leaving a string of victims in his wake, then abruptly disappeared before Alex and the NYPD could identify him. Now, with improved forensic technology and a national DNA databank to draw from, a fresh attack may give Alex a new lease on many old crimes, just in time to beat the statute of limitations.

Masterful and exhilarating, this heady thriller combines dramatic New York City lore and the macabre world of Edgar Allan Poe with the authentic legal and forensic detail that only Linda Fairstein can offer. Entombed is electrifying crime writing at its very best.

    — Newsday (New York)
  • “The specter of Edgar Allan Poe hovers, chillingly, over bestseller Fairstein's seventh thriller featuring Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper…Her methodical presentation of authentic detail engages reader interest more than narrative flourish or cheap thrills. She's the real deal.”

    — Amazon.com, editorial review
  • “Fairstein pays homage to the great Poe with a complicated, intriguing account involving the underbelly of New York and a strange group of Poe enthusiasts who would do anything to gain the respect of their similarly obsessed peers. Creepy and oh-so-much fun.”

    " I was not overwhelmed by this book. I found it more tedious than interesting. The author's writing style made it hard to always know who was speaking. I found myself having to reread passages because I was confused as to who said what. I'm not sure I'll read another by this author. "
