Submitted by Bethanne on Wed, 03/24/2010 - 7:28pm A Conversation with Linda Fairstein: "Hell Gate"
One of my favorite things about Linda Fairstein's crime novels is how she brings in the history of New York City, making landmarks relevant to contemporary stories of the more sordid side of things. After decades in the NYC Public Defender's Office and being instrumental in founding the NYPD Sex Crimes Unit, Fairstein knows that history and beauty can both be founded on and hide ugly sins.
In Fairstein's latest Alexandra Cooper novel, "Hell Gate," the Borough of Manhattan's three remaining Federal mansions (Hamilton Grange, the Morris-Jumel Mansion, and Gracie Mansion) are woven into a story of sex trafficking and -- what else? -- intrigue. I had a wonderful time talking with Fairstein (it's her second visit to The WETA Book Studio; you can see her first interview for "Lethal Legacy" right below), and hope you'll enjoy this clip.
