Críticas:

Alexandra Cooper, like her creator, Linda Fairstein, is a force to contend with (Sue Grafton)

Linda Fairstein's continued rise into the rarified realm of great crime fiction seems unstoppable. The Bone Vault will spin your head and race you away on a blast of originality, chilling real-world detail, and turbo-charged writing. Fairstein has become (Patricia Cornwell)

A quiet beginning, but once the engine is running, this one hits top gear. (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

Reseña del editor:

After a lull of four years, the 'silk stocking rapist' is back at work on the Upper East side, but this time Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper and Detective Mike Chapman have perfect DNA evidence to work with. They also have a much older case to work on - a skeleton has been found entombed in the wall of a house Edgar Allan Poe once lived in, but it turns out to be a relatively modern murder - from 1978. On the day the discovery of this body is leaked to the press, Alex gets a call that the silk stocking rapist has struck again, this time fatally. Or has he? The m.o. isn't precisely the same as the others, and it transpires that the victim worked in Poe's old house in 1978. Are the cases linked or is someone trying to silence possible witness to a thirty-five-year-old murder? With consummate skill, Linda Fairstein has created an outstanding crime novel, layered with the history of New York, the roller-coaster everyday life of a prosecutor and culminating with a surprising but satisfying denouement.
