Silent Mercy B 英文原版

　　When the burnt headless body of a young woman is found on the
steps of a Baptist Church in Harlem, Assistant DA Alexandra Cooper
is one of the first on the shocking scene. Alex has seen some
gruesome crimes committed in New York, but the barbarity of this
latest discovery leaves her nauseous. With NYPD cop Mike Chapman,
Alex begins to investigate, but before long another woman is
slaughtered and found on the steps of a Catholic church in Little
Italy; her throat slashed and her tongue cut out. It becomes clear
there is a zealous serial killer on the loose. Now Alex and Mike
must keep one step ahead of a religious fanatic bent on silencing
the women he believes are bringing shame to his beliefs – before he
kills anyone else.
