HELL'S GATE

Alexandra Cooper gets called to a ghastly crime scene. A ship is wrecked just within the safety of New York and there are human trafficking victims aboard. It is Alexandra's job to sort out who might be responsible for bringing these women to America from the Ukraine. At nearly the same time, a local congressman is cited for drunk driving and it comes to light that he has a mistress and a love child. The repercussions are affecting local New York politics as everyone tries to spin the situation for their own gain. With the help of Mike and Mercer, Alex manages to sort out all of the pieces and tie together several seemingly unrelated crimes.

I love Linda Fairstein. In every book, she teaches the reader about New York history and landmarks. This book talked of Gracie Mansion and some of the old homes in New York. As always, Alex, Mercer and Mike are human and loveable characters. I keep hoping that Alex and Mike will finally become romantically involved. In this book, it seemed that Alex was leaning that way, too. Still, we are left hanging, waiting for the next installment in this awesome series.

Rating - A
