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, is alleged to have been assaulted, but she refuses to co-operate with their enquiries.
Within a day Alex and Chapman are back at the same building, confronted with the body of a woman, battered to death and with a mysterious jewel-encrusted book beside her. But the victim isn’t Tina Barr, and 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.

Reviews
Fascinating...curiosity picqued, readers will surely want to find out more
Entertaining.... Full of fun information about the NYPL
A nifty mystery that starts off as a harrowing missing-person-homicide case, but blossoms into something far deeper. Lethal Legacy is great-my personal favorite in this bestselling series
[The characters'] adventures are reminiscent of the quests of Indiana Jones or National Treasure. Bibliophiles and Fairstein fans are in for a treat
