THE BONE VAULT

Blair Brown brings the resourceful Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper to life in this deftly narrated tale of criminal mischief with a deadly result. A body is found in an ancient sarcophagus, but it isn't an Egyptian princess; it's a former museum worker. While investigating the murder, Cooper butts heads with staff and administration to find out what may have happened deep in the bowels of the museum. Brown's timing and pace add depth to the story. Her expressive characterization gives life to the culture clash of the many managerial relics in New York's Metropolitan Museum and the hardened cops who are out to solve the mystery.
