Linda Fairstein was the DA who founded the Sex Crimes Unit in NYC and is the inspiration for television shows Law & Order and SVU, based on what she pioneered in her career as a DA. Lethal Legacy is sure to be another Fairstein bestseller. In the book, assistant district attorney Alexandra Cooper of Manhattan's Sex Crimes Prosecution Unit, looks in to the disappearance of librarian Tina Barr. The investigation leads Alex and her team into the dark depths of the New York Public Library in search of stolen items that certain bibliophiles and antique map enthusiasts would kill for. This book is full of fun information about the New York Public Library! Fairstein has written more than 11 Alex Cooper mysteries. She worked in the Manhattan District Attorney's office for 25 years before retiring to write novels full time. _____________________________________________________ Author Visit & Book Signing SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 10 AM SAMUEL PRYOR III MAKE IT HAPPEN: THE FASCINATING LIFE OF SAM PRYOR, JR.
