Likely To Die

ISBN: 0751521205
Author: Linda Fairstein
Description:
Gemma Dogen, a leading neurosurgeon, is found in her office at a New York medical centre, soaked in her own blood and rightly considered a case 'likely to die' before she can be got to the emergency room. She has also been sexually assaulted and Mike Chapman bypasses the rota system to make sure he has Alexandra Cooper, Manhattan's top sex-crimes prosecutor, on hand for what promises to be a messy case. It is possible that the killer was someone who knew Gemma - a prickly thorn in the side of some of her colleagues - but the police rapidly discover that the hospital is as secure as a wall-less building. Scores of homeless men and women inhabit a maze of tunnels beneath the complex and roam it at will; there are no checks on staff, deliverymen, patients or visitors. Making sure any evidence left behind is treated correctly and securely, as well as trawling her files for any similar modus operandi, are just two elements to juggle in the high-pressured timetables of Alexandra's working day. But as Mike Chapman concentrates on possible suspects and motives, Coop realises that someone is fearful of her knowledge and that she, too might be 'likely to die'.
