Product Description
A fast-paced thriller from rising star Alafair Burke, where no-one in Manhattan is safe. And no-one is innocent.
‘Should come with a warning…highly addictive.’ Karin Slaughter
In New York City nights are dangerous. Days are numbered.
When New York University student Megan Gunther is murdered in a vicious attack after receiving threats posted on a campus website, NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced there is a link.
With straight-talking partner J. J. Rogan at her side, Ellie tries to identify Megan's enemies, but she begins to wonder if the girl's murder was more than just the culmination of a cyber obsession.
Then phone records reveal a link between Megan and a murdered real-estate agent who was living a dangerous double life.
Even more suspiciously, the detectives also learn that the dead real-estate agent shared a secret connection to a celebrity mogul whose bodyguard was mysteriously killed a few months earlier.
And when Megan's roommate suddenly disappears, they know they have to find her before it's too late…
With fans including everyone from Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben, and Lee Child to Tess Gerritsen, Lisa Gardner and Kathy Reichs, Alafair Burke gives us another nail-biting thriller to keep us on the edge of our seats.

This is a well thought out and fairly intricate plot which becomes quite absorbing. It does require a certain amount of concentration due to the number of different characters introduced and the various twists in the story. The climax ties up the loose ends, but I felt that it did stretch credibility somewhat. However, overall this is well written and entertaining read, which towards the end is quite tense. I have not previously read anything by Alafair Burke but now I would certainly be inclined to read her other books. Her creation, Ellie Hatcher is an interesting character whom I imagine is set for further outings.
