A Beautiful Woman, Missing
New York City, 2005. Thanksgiving weekend. A topless Kate Moss
peers down from a billboard over rain-spattered Houston Street.
Escaping a troubled past, Francesca Pena came to the city and
reinvented herself. At New York University, her beauty and charisma
are the envy of her privileged pals, yet none knows the real
Francesca--who, after a night of drinking, is now missing.
A High-Stakes Gamble
Detective Darlene O'Hara of the Seventh Precinct and her
partner, Serge "K." Krekorian, set out to find Pena. But when the
case turns high-profile and Homicide is called in, O'Hara--who has
an eighteen-year-old son she saddled with the name Axl Rose O'Hara,
and whose binge drinking exacerbates the massive chip on her
shoulder--refuses to let go. Risking both her and K.'s careers, she
defies NYPD brass and Homicide legend Patrick Lowry to secretly
pursue her own investigation.
A Desperate Chase--and a Chilling Twist
Following a deadly trail that leads from NYU's ivory towers to
Brooklyn tattoo parlors, from a skanky strip club to a whitewashed
boutique run by a Korean madam, O'Hara closes in on her prey. But
she has to move fast, because Lowry and the NYPD are about to make
a devastating mistake that will leave the real killer free.
