The New York Public Library is the focus of Fairstein's eleventh Alexandra Cooper novel. The Assistant District Attorney and NYPD Detective Mike Chapman try to track down the truth behind an assault of a conservator of rare books at the Library when another woman is found murdered, in possession of an extremely valuable book.
If you've encountered Cooper and Chapman before, you'll know what to expect. If you haven't, be prepared for a great read and learn about one of New York's premier assets. Fairstein's novels are full of New York historical detail, and this one takes you to extraordinary depths – literally.
Night and Day
$25.95
by Robert B. Parker
Published by Putnam
Jesse Stone, Chief of Police, Paradise, Massachusetts. Prim high school principal has been inspecting girls' undergarments in the gym but Stone's investigation is blocked by her lawyer husband. Voyeur dubbed "Night Hawk" is stalking women in the neighborhoods and threatens to escalate his activities.
Parker's novels featuring Stone have lately been better than the Spenser series. A Supreme Court decision has recently been handed down that featured a school's physical inspection of a middle school student which included stripping her down to her underwear, so this is one of Parker's more timely accounts. As those of you who have been following Spenser from the beginning know, the early novels were peppered with allusions to current events, at least Boston's particular brand of political events.
