Silent Mercy by Linda Fairstein, 387 pages
This is the 13th book in the Alexandra Cooper series. Alexandra Cooper is a special victims prosecutor in New York City. She is called to Mount Neboh Baptist Church because of a body found on the church steps, decapitated, and set on fire. The only clue is a Star of David necklace, signifying that it might be a religious hate crime. A second corpse is found at a Catholic church in Little Italy soon after. Alex must work together with her friends Mike and Mercer, detectives, to solve these murders before more outspoken religious women are silenced.
I really enjoy these books, but they are not for the faint of heart. With Linda Fairstein having the background as an actual sex crimes prosecutor in New York, she is able to draw on her experience to create mysteries that are horrifying and terrible.
