  • "Sex-crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper has seen the worst New York City has to offer, and yet each case still casts a sickening new light on the darker side of humanity. Juggling two investigations--one involving the wreck of a ship transporting human cargo and one involving a congressman caught up in a sex scandal--Alex finds an irrefutable link between the cases. Uncovering the truth, however, pots her against powerful factions that won't think twice about putting her investigation--and Alex herself--on ice."@en
  • "Alexandra Cooper of the Manhattan District Attorney's office finds her attention torn between investigating a shipwreck that most certainly involves human trafficking and the sex scandal of a promising New York congressman. When she discovers that a woman from the wreck and the congressman's lover have the same tattooed brand, she realizes that the cases aren't as unrelated as they seem and that the entire political landscape of New York City could hang in the balance of her investigation."@en
  • "Alexandra Cooper goes inside a world she'd rather not see. New York City politics have always been filled with intrigue and behind-the-scenes deals. In Hell Gate, Alex finds her attention torn between investigating a shipwreck that has contraband cargo-human cargo-and the political sex scandal of a promising New York congressman now fallen from grace. When Alex discovers that a woman from the wreck and the congressman's lover have the same rose tattoo-the brand of a "snakehead", a master of a human trafficking operation - it dawns on her that these cases aren't as unrelated as they seem and that the entire political landscape of New York City could hang in the balance of her investigation. As Alex looks on at the nameless victims in the morgue, she realizes she's looking at the present-day face of New York's long, dark tradition of human trafficking - a tradition that began hundreds of years ago with slave trade from Africa, now a multimillion-dollar industry that will stop at no cost, even if that cost is Alex's life."@en

  • "In New York, the body of a congressman's mistress is found dumped in the mayor's well. Assistant DA Alex Cooper is distraught that she wasn't able to prevent the death in time. Investigating the circumstances she uncovers a secret affair and an illegitimate child, supposedly fathered by the politician. Then after news of a tragic shipwreck off the coast claiming the lives of the human cargo on board, Alex is called to the gruesome scene. She discovers a strange connection between the seemingly unrelated cases: a young woman drowned in the wreck and the congressman's murdered lover share the same tattoo. Alex finds more than she bargained for: dark links to New York's powerful elite that will call into question all she ever believed in ..."
  • "Contraband cargo-young and female-from a wrecked Ukraine freighter washes up on Rockaway Beach. But one victim died before she even hit the dark waters of the Atlantic. Only one other story has the power to grab New York ADA Alexandra Cooper's attention-that of a New York congressman's dive into disgrace following a sordid sex scandal. When Alexandra discovers that the freighter victim and the congressman's lover are connected in a way that simply can't be coincidence, it strikes her that these cases aren't as unrelated as they seem. She unearths a secret that will not only shatter the entire political landscape of New York, but expose Alexandra to the darkest, most dangerous, and most profoundly disturbing revelation of her career. Watch a Video."@en
