Synopsis:
One of the most haunting buildings in New York City, and perhaps the most dramatically beautiful, the Deadhouse sits on a small island in the middle of the East River. The abandoned structure, like the ghostly remains of a castle, plays in the imagination as a site of mystery and intrigue…a likely place for murder.
It’s the holiday season, but there’s little reason for cheer at one of New York’s most elite colleges. A respected professor is dead; strangled and dumped in an elevator shaft. Lola Dakota’s lifeless fingers clutch a few strands of hair, and a piece of paper in her pocket reads “The Deadhouse.“
What brought a distinguished academic to such a tragic end? Opportunistic murder seems unlikely as assistant DA Alexandra Cooper, working with detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, uncovers a distressing pattern of betrayal and terror.
There’s proof that Lola‘s husband, Ivan, wanted her dead. He has an alibi, but could he have hired a killer? Or could one of Lola‘s colleagues have erupted into unexpected violence? Some of their stories don’t quite ring true. And why did Lola have a photograph of twenty-year-old Charlotte Voight pinned to her office bulletin board? Charlotte left her dorm room eight months ago and vanished into the night. Is she dead? Could she and Lola have become victims of the same predator?
Perhaps most puzzling of all are the words “The Deadhouse.“ What was Lola‘s connection to this desolate place where people once endured slow and agonizing deaths? And what danger awaits Alex there or on the streets of Manhattan as she targets Lola’s killer?
