Linda Fairstein is the author of the Alexandra Cooper thriller series focusing on Alexandra, Manhattan Assistant DA, and her partner, Detective Mike Chapman.The author has also written a true crime series titled From the Files of Linda Fairstein and has recently started a new mystery series for children, called Devlin Quick, with two books currently published.
I am generally not a major fan of true-crime books, so I have not yet read the author’s series, but I am religiously following her Alex Cooper series.
While the books can be read as standalone novels, it makes much more sense to read the series in order, to follow Alex and Mike’s relationship evolve.

Linda Fairenstein is an evil woman who publically destroyed the lives of five underaged boys in the 1980’s if you didnt know..now youu know…find the docu series and research the EXONERATED FIVE. She ripped out the innocence and trust of these five boys who served from 6-13 years in prison for a crime that was proven and clear from the beginning that she did not commit. she was an overseer who was/ is a COWARD who placed a BRICK on the scale of justice that cost the trauma of 5 boys, for her personal and professional gain. SHE DID NOT CARE FOR THESE KIDS, SHE DID NOT CARE FOR THE WOMEN WHO WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AND BEAT.
