The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn’t just rip from the news. She’s one stage before them. 212 scares you and helps to keep you turning the pages into the wee hours.” -Harlan Coben

“Burke has generated a strong female protagonist in the tradition of Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski and Marcia Muller’s Sharon McCone…. Absolutely genuine.” -Boston Globe
