  • "Toute une faune gravite autour du Lincoln Center, complexe de salles de spectacles qui abrite l'Opéra et lieu de culture incontesté de Manhattan. Lorsqu'une célèbre danseuse est retrouvée morte, Alex Cooper, adjointe au procureur de Manhattan, doit enquêter avec précaution parmi l'élite de Broadway où, entre les intérêts des uns et les ambitions des autres, les apparences sont trompeuses.--[Résumé de l'éditeur]."

Three colleagues are drawn into the machinations of New York City's secretive theatrical community, where ambition takes many forms, including those most deadly."
  • "Auf der Bühne zu stehen braucht Mut - doch hinter der Bühne ist es noch viel gefährlicher: Die Primaballerina Natalia Galinova verschwindet während einer Aufführung spurlos aus dem voll besetzten Theater. Kurze Zeit später wird sie ermordet aufgefunden. Staatsanwältin Alex Cooper hat schnell einen Hauptverdächtigen: Joe Berk, den zwielichtigen "Zauberer vom Broadway", der die halbe Theaterlandschaft New Yorks kontrolliert. Höchst erbittert, weil gerade ein überführter Vergewaltiger wegen einer juristisch strittigen DNS-Beweislage vor Gericht freigesprochen wurde, freut sie sich besonders, wenigstens diesen Fall schnell lösen zu können. Und merkt erst, wie sehr sie tatsächlich noch im Dunkeln tappt, als sie während eines Stromausfalls in ihrer Wohnung von einem maskierten Mann überfallen wird ... "'Totenmahl' ist einfach perfekt: Linda Fairstein macht keinen falschen Schritt und lässt in ihren Dialogen zwischen Alex Cooper und Mike Chapman nur so die Funken fliegen!" Sandra Brown "Totenmahl" ist Fairsteins stärkster und erschütterndster Roman. Sie ist eine der wenigen Autorinnen, die wirklich wissen, worüber sie schreiben!" James Patterson "Eine der besten Krimiautorinnen, die ich kenne!" Patricia Cornwell"
  • "As in her previous novel, Final Jeopardy, the author (who works a day job as head of the Manhattan District Attorney's sex crimes unit) places a smart and driven Manhattan prosecutor named Alexandra Cooper at the center of the action. Since Dr. Gemma Dogen (the victim) was a "single, professional woman, no children, no pets, no one to depend on her for contact," Alex is left to discover the victim through her work--which makes a suspect out of everyone at the hospital ... Such a wide net might daunt some investigators, but not Fairstein's fearless heroine, whose portraits of her boss and fellow prosecutors are as engaging as her asides about history and neurology."@en

  • "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 DA 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. Among Galinova's lovers is Joe Berk, the colorful, strong-willed boss of the Berk Organization, one of four family companies that own all the legitimate theaters on Broadway. The aging ballerina was using Berk to help revive her career at the time of her disappearance. Cooper, Chapman, and Wallace go underground and backstage at the Met, explore Berk's unusual apartment on top of the Belasco Theatre with its rumored ghostly resident, and then discover bizarre circumstances at City Center, which has a peculiar history not one of them knew about until now. Within the glamorous but sordid inner sanctums of the Broadway elite, the team confronts the ruthless power brokers who control both the stars and the stages where they appear. They meet Joe's niece Mona Berk, who is mounting a vicious campaign to extract her share of the family fortune, and stunning starlet Lucy DeVore, whose beauty may be her fatal undoing. Chet Dobbis is the artistic director of the Metropolitan Opera, and therefore privy to the most scandalous exploits among its famous inhabitants. He also knows every inch of the labyrinthine building into which the ballerina disappeared... 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. Selim Sengor eludes capture, Alex must navigate the new investigative world of DFSA -- drug-facilitated sexual assault -- intent on proving him guilty. Complicating her quest is the explosive legal and ethical dilemma of using the existing DNA databank to solve new cases. Can Alex convince a judge to let her prosecute a man for a violent crime using DNA that was collected for a prior case in which he was never charged' Or do the suspect's civil rights prevent law enforcement from keeping his DNA on file to be used against him at any future time' 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."@en
