Sunday Salon-Are You A SandHog?-Fact or Fiction

Could you be a sandhog? You could if you worked in the tunnels of New York.

This is my first Linda Fairstein novel although she has many to her storied career. Here is a list for you:

Killer Heat (2008), Bad Blood (2007), The Best American Crime Reporting 2007 (2007),

Her novel centers around Alexandra "Alex" Cooper an assistant DA in New York. Alex is supported by NYPD detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace.

Amanda Quillian is found murdered and the "team" believes her husband has hired a hitman to pull off the crime. Brendan Quillian is coming into the court room when he grabs an officer's gun, leaves one dead, and several injured.

Now the investigation really gets complicated when Alex discovers two feuding families, the Quillians and the Hassetts have hated each other for years.

Both families menfolks have been "sandhogs" for several generations and are very tough, no-nonsense kind of guys. Well as usual I will leave you hanging, so maybe you would like to purchase the book from here and finish this riveting story yourself!
