[Ellie Hatcher 03] • 212

“The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn’t just rip from the headlines. She’s one step ahead of them. *212* scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours.”

—Harlan Coben

“Burke has created a strong female protagonist in the tradition of Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski and Marcia Muller’s Sharon McCone.… Utterly authentic.”

—*Boston Globe *

*212* is acclaimed author—and former deputy district attorney—Alafair Burke’s gripping thriller featuring hip, Manhattan-based detective Ellie Hatcher. Fans of Lisa Gardner, Sandra Brown, Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben, Sue Grafton, and PJ Tracy will find it hard to put *212 *down until the very last page.
