Death Dance

New York Times bestselling author Linda Fairstein takes readers behind the scenes of New York City’s theater world — from Lincoln Center to the lights of Broadway — in a riveting new novel rich with her trademark blend of cutting-edge legal issues, skillful detective work, and heart-stopping suspense. Teaming up with longtime friends — NYPD’s Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace — Assistant D.A. Alex Cooper investigates the disappearance of world-famous dancer Natalya Galinova, who has suddenly vanished backstage at Lincoln Center’s Metropolitan Opera House — during a performance. The three colleagues are soon drawn into the machinations of New York City’s secretive theatrical community, where ambition takes many forms, including those most deadly. Meanwhile, Alex is working on a very different case, using a creative technique to nab a physician who has been drugging women in order to assault them. As Dr. Sengor eludes capture, Alex must navigate the new investigative world of DFSA — drug-facilitated sexual assault — intent on proving him guilty. Death Dance is a spellbinding thriller combining a former prosecutor’s fresh insight into hot-button legal issues with the unique history and spectacle of New York theater, and its shocking twists make this novel Linda Fairstein’s most chilling adventure yet.
