In District Attorney Alexandra Cooper’s line of work, the discovery of a corpse isn’t unusual. Not even the corpse of a young woman who was bound, bludgeoned and tortured to death. It’s the location which is unusual – an abandoned ferry terminal at the southern tip of Manhattan, from where the ferries only went to one destination…Governors Island.The corpse is identified as that of a part-time prostitute with a side-line in kink and a high-end client list. A list to kill for and, clearly, to die for…but the list is missing, and so is another girl. Then her body is found. Another deserted location, another viciously violent killing.There is a faint trail to follow, but when another young woman disappears not far from Governors Island, Alex joins the desperate hunt for a singularly depraved murderer. A chase which catapults her into one of the most chilling encounters of her life.
