In this short story from the New York Times bestselling thriller anthology FaceOff, Linda Fairstein and Steve Martiniâalong with their popular series characters Alex Cooper and Paul Madrianiâteam up for the first time ever. Paired together on a legal conference panel, Assistant Manhattan D.A. Alexandra Cooper and Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Paul Madriani butt heads over a hypothetical case. But Madrianiâcurrently representing a defendant in the suspected murder of an L.A.-area madamâruns afoul of Coop within minutes over the issue of empathy for the victim, real or hypothetical. Still, after the panel there are no hard feelings and the two colleagues plan to enjoy a drink at one of Coopâs favorite New York City watering holesâthat is, until they are approached by an audience member claiming to know something about Madrianiâs real-life case that will exonerate his client. Cooper and Madrianiâs meeting with the source will lead them into the thick of a global conspiracy that reaches to the highest echelons of powerâand ultimately, justice will be done. For more exciting pairs, check out all eleven short stories in FaceOff!
