Devil's Bridge by Linda Fairstein
4.0
Alex Cooper has a bad day in court and that is just the beginning of her problems. She finds out a woman impersonated a person to get access to her files at work. She does get some good news when the man who has been trying to kill her is caught. The unit is celebrating at their favorite haunt and she is getting some serious ribbing for being a bit touchy. She leaves the gathering and while getting into what she thinks is the Uber ride she has arranged she is kidnapped. No one notices until late the next day.
Alex has recently started an affair with long time friend, cop, Mike Chapman, and he goes on the hunt to find her. The story is told mostly from his point of view which is a bit of a switch for this author. I liked it. Mike is having a hard time reining in his emotions as he looks for Alex. He was working a murder during the night when she was taken and he thinks the two cases might be linked. He had a run in with a corrupt minister who has links to City Hall. Mercer aids Mike in his search and they eventually find that it is linked to something that happened in Mike's past and not Alex's. Several of his commanders are not very helpful to him and actually very derogatory about his relationship with Alex. They bring in a psychiatrist to help sort things out and she is also a bit unfeeling and not too nice to him.
Like how the author puts in so much history about the city of New York and surrounding area.
