Terminal City by Linda Fairstein



 ★★★★

Grand Central Station is where a maze of  tunnels and tracks that surround New York City connect with other underground features as well as above ground areas and that is how this massive terminal is wound into the story of a serial killer that threatens the visit of the POTUS.

Alexandra Cooper, ADA for NYC, is called in when a mutilated body of a young woman is found in one of the fanciest suites of the Waldorff Astoria. After identifying the body the investigation into this gruesome murder is compounded when 2 additional bodies are discovered which lead to security issues that may prevent the visit of the President.

Tracking down the murderer and throughout Grand Central leads to interesting revelations of the history and development of the Terminal.

I think that this is one of the best in the series, they seemed to just be getting better!
