As New York City swelters under the August sun, D.A. Alex Cooper takes on her most riveting case to date in Killer Heat. While masterminding a courtroom victory for a rape victim who was denied justice decades earlier, Alex is called to the scene of a brutal murder. A young woman was severely beaten to death, her body disposed of in an abandoned building. The heat is on when a similar murder victim is found soon after, but connections between the two women slip away from Alex, despite her hard-as-nails interrogation tactics. By the time a third woman is murdered, the tabloids are screeching about a serial killer, and Alex finds herself at the firing range, receiving weapons training from her NYPD buddy Mike Chapman as she follows the trail of a dangerous sexual predator --- who has an obsession with women in uniform. A pulse-pounding ride from a bestselling novelist at the top of her game, Killer Heat is a sizzler.
