When the police are called to a building on New York's Upper East Side, Detective Mike Chapman and Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper respond quickly. A resident, Tina Barr, has allegedly been assaulted, but she refuses to cooperate with their inquiries. Within a day Alex and Chapman are back at the same building, confronted with the body of a woman, battered to death, with a mysterious jewel-encrusted book beside her. But the victim isn't Tina Barr - Tina has disappeared.
The book is part of a rare collection at the New York Public Library and Alex and Chapman are plunged into the deadly world of the super-rich - those who protect their fortunes and collections more carefully than other people's lives....
I really enjoyed this book. A good mystery with lots of twists and turns. The parts on the history and secrets of the New York City Library were fascinating, as were the descriptions of some of the books.
