(Novella) In a facility for people recovering from mental illness: a group of people with sinister pasts starts to be visited by a girl who doesn't exist.

This is a story about the struggles of a strong, resilient biracial woman during the Prohibition era in the 1920s. We share in her arduous journey as she aims to navigate through a time when greed, power, murder, and romance were highly prevalent in the streets of Harlem. I would like to thank you for letting me share this woman’s life that is fictional but seems nonfictional to me. It comes to me like she’s trying to tell me something. I do not have any proof that this woman even existed, but it comes to me like a ghost in the night twenty-five years ago. I’m finally putting it into words to share with you. Please join me in this ongoing saga of a woman that went through a lot of adversity but somehow overcame because of the strength that lies inside her —Randy R.

Following the critically acclaimed and top ten Best Seller The Deadhouse, Linda Fairstein now takes us behind the scenes of some of New York's magnificent and mysterious institutions in her most electrifying Alexandra Cooper thriller yet. The Bone Vault begins in the glorious Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where wealthy donors have gathered to hear plans for a controversial new exhibit. An uneasy mix of scholarship and showbiz. The exhibition has raised fierce opposition from some of the museum's elite: IMAX time trips and Rembrandt refrigerator magnets have no place for them at the Met. Assistant DA Alex Cooper, off duty for the evening, observes the proceedings with bemused interest until the Met director suddenly pulls her aside: the body of a young researcher has been found in an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus. Teaming up with cops Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, Alex must penetrate the silent sentinels comprising New York's museum society, investigating not only at the Met but also at the Museum of Natural History and the Cloisters, to find a killer. Atmospheric, chilling, and shot through with procedural authenticity.
