by **Alafair Burke** (Author)

"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.  

### Front Jacket

A celebrity mogul's bodyguard is slain in his boss's luxurious penthouse at an exclusive Manhattan address. At NYU, a sophomore is menaced on the Internet, stalked . . . and murdered.

The two cases, equally sordid and shocking, end up falling to NYPD homicide detective Ellie Hatcher and her partner--who soon find out that this is just the tip of a terrifying iceberg.

Because in the city that never sleeps, death doesn't either.

\--Romantic Times (Top Pick, 4 1/2 stars)
