Alexandra Cooper novel, 7

Workers demolishing a nineteenth-century brownstone where Poe once lived discover a human skeleton entombed behind a brick wall. When assistant D.A. and sex crimes prosecutor Alexandra Cooper hears about the case, it strikes her as a classic scene from Poe's fiction--except that forensic evidence shows this young woman died within the last twenty-five years. Meanwhile, Alex is furious at the news that an old nemesis may be preying on women once again. The Silk Stocking Rapist first struck four years ago, leaving a string of victims in his wake, then abruptly disappeared before being identified. Now, with improved forensic technology and a national DNA databank to draw from, a fresh attack may give Alex a new lease on many old crimes, just in time to beat the statue of limitations
