A young woman is found floating in the lake in Central Park and Alex Cooper works with her regular buddies, Mercer Wallace and Mike Chapman to uncover who she is and why someone would kill her.

The interesting part of the mystery is the background of Central Park as well as the famous Dakota apartment building.  The details of their history is cleverly woven around this death as well as a decades old disappearance of a wealthy resident's granddaughter from the Dakota and the resolution to both.

A great Addition to the series
