Entombed: A Novel (Alexandra Cooper) by Linda Fairstein - Entombed

Series heroine Alexandra Cooper, head of Manhattans sex crimes unit, returns in a novel that might have been titled Nevermore,: focused as it is on the life and works of Edgar Allan Poe. When the body of a two-decades-old skeleton is found bricked up behind a wall in a soon-to-be-demolished building where Poe once lived, it looks like a very cold case indeed. But then that old murder is linked to a more current slaying, one that at first looks like the work of the Silk Stocking Rapist, Alexs old enemy, who terrorized the upper East Side of Manhattan several years ago but hasnt been heard from since. As usual, Alex and her good friends, detectives Mercer Wallace and Mike Chapman, take the reader to an area of New York most tourists never see--in this case, the Bronx Botanical Gardens and its wild, forested environs--and bring it dramatically to life. Just in case Poe ever has his own category on Alexs favorite TV show, there's enough trivia included about the master of the macabres life and work to propel any reader to Final Jeopardy. Entombed is a smart, stylish, well-told tale. --Jane Adams

Entombed
This mystery involves a female lawyer from the New York City prosecutor's office who specializes in Special Victims Unit. She has two mysteries to solve. The first is the return of an unidentified rapist the media had previously named "The Silk Stocking Rapist." That mystery is actually secondary to the second mystery - a skeleton discovered in the basement wall of a building being demolished by the New York University Law School, a building in which Edgar Allan Poe used to live. The two mysteries are connected by the perpetrator of the second mystery, who copies the perpetrator of the first mystery to cover his murder of the one person who can identify him. It was well-written but I did feel that the end left several loose ends untied.
