Bernadette Dunne's portrayal of sex crimes prosecutor Alex Cooper starts out soft and compassionate, depicting her concern for a rape victim. It's not long before Dunne shows us another side of Cooper. Hassled by a Latino gang that coughs repeatedly to confuse court proceedings, her voice takes on a tougher edge as the hardworking Cooper deals with those who try to get in her way. As Cooper tracks a serial killer who stalks women in uniform, Dunne's voice picks up vehemence, and she turns up this intensity as the mystery builds. Respite from the tension in this tenth Cooper adventure comes in Alex's snappy dialogue with Homicide Detective Mike Chapman, portrayed by Dunne with a hard-boiled tone. S.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine. HTML:It's August in New York, and the only thing that's hotter than the pavement is Manhattan D.A. Alex Cooper's professional and personal life. Just as she's claiming an especially gratifying victory in a rape case, she gets the call: The body of a young woman has been found in an abandoned building. The brutality of the murder is disturbing enough, but when a second body, beaten and disposed of in exactly the same manner, is found off the Belt Parkway, the city's top brass want the killer found fast, before the tabloids can start churning out ghoulish serial killer headlines.<br /> Between dodging the bullets of the gang members who are infuriated by Alex's most recent courtroom victory and keeping a rendezvous with a charming restaurateur, a serial killer on the loose is the last thing she needs on her plate right now. Then a third victim is found, and it becomes clear to Alex and her team that time is not on their side.<br /> Through Alex's peerless interrogation skills–and one big break–the search becomes focused on someone who has a twisted obsession with the military. Once again Linda Fairstein brilliantly orchestrates a gripping mix of cutting-edge legal issues and forensics, New York City history, and spine-tingling suspense.<br /> <i>From the Compact Disc edition.</i>.
