Hell Gate by Linda Fairstein

Public prosecutor Alex Cooper is investigating an off-shore shipwreck that leads to human trafficking, murder, political intrigue and an attempt on her life. In the freezing waters off the coast of New York City, Alex watches numerous bodies as well as survivors of the shipwreck wash ashore, all illegals. It is her job to be concerned specifically about the women and she finds it difficult to get them to talk to her. Fairstein takes the reader on a blustery cold investigation as well as giving you some obscure history of the area. Pretty interesting reading.
