Linda Fairstein eighth novel, Death Dance, brings back New York City sex crimes assistant DA Alexandra Cooper, with her friends, crime scene investigators Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, time trying to solve the case of a murdered dancer with the Royal Ballet, who had enough of a diva attitude to foster a whole slew of suspects including her agent and Broadway producer and all-around scumbag Joe Berk. Combine this with a rape subplot and a terrifying Turkish doctor who drugs his victims before filming himself raping them, and Death Dance proves to be a thrilling tour de force with a dramatic, engrossing climax.
