The Labyrinth in Winter

A body floating in the Harlem River. A phone call asking for help. A call that leads government lawyer Devlin Wolfe into the murky world of dark money and Wall Street, and behind the scenes of the glittering Metropolitan Opera where everything is seemingly linked together -- the murder of a top financial figure, the laundering of illegal funds into a political campaign and two otherworldly divas battling it out for supremacy in a new production the press has taken to calling the "Haunted Aida."

The victim, identified as Guillaume Marchand, is a financial analyst for a high tech wall street firm. Things immediately get more complicated when Marchand’s $7 million estate in Westchester County is burned to the ground and his artist wife goes missing on the eve of an important gallery exhibition. An unexpected subplot provides an intriguing twist involving the mounting of the opera Aida with a mysterious young French diva who’s giving her debut performance in the United States.
