Alex Cooper is starting a court case where she's prosecuting a man for having his wife murdered while he was conveniently out of town. The chances of getting a conviction aren't great.
Then, a few days into the case, an explosion in one of New Yorks subterrainian water tunnels kills the brother of the accussed, revealing old fueds between families. And when an old, unsolved, case is also linked to the accused, the waters seem to be getting murkier rather then clearer.
As Alex, Mercer and Mike unrafel all the threads, the accussed makes a violent escape and with the solution to all the mysteries comes a terrifying underground manhunt.
Good mystery and read, as always, but not as thrilling as some in this series.
