This is the fifth of Linda Fairstein's books about Alexander Cooper (herself), the first ADA of the Sexual Victim's Unit of NYPD. Because of her background, Fairstein is in a unique position to provide realistic details about NYPD, the city's courts, and various cases she's worked on. An interesting writer, she has not yet reached her peak as a novelist, but each book gets better and better. Her l994 non-fiction book, Sexual Violence, is strongly recommended.

RELEASE NOTES:

I gave this book to a North Harris College student who's seeking a career in police work, specializing in sexual victims units. Asked her to place the book in the Academic Building when she was through with it.

I caught the book at the college I go to. I actually never read, because I have yet to find a book that can keep my attention. The Kills, however, did just that. It was a story that kept me at the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen next. I took the book to the hospital because I have spent so much time up there. My grandpa has been in there for over a month. I noticed that there are many people wondering aroud with nothing to do in the ICU waiting rooms, so I dropped my book there.
