Alafair Burke, continued

Alice Humphrey goes from recently employed to a person of interest in a murder investigation all the while trying to figure out who was this man offering her the opportunity of a lifetime.    

Ms. Burke is the author of 7 novels, including Long Gone, and has two detective series featuring Ellie Hatcher or Samantha Kincaid.  Long Gone has been described as "the one book you cannot put down this summer", "fast-paced, plot-driven, nail-biter." Harlan Coben raved it was "a page turner from a major talent". 

Burke, a criminal law professor at Hofstra University, is also the author of Close Case, Missing Justice, Judgment Calls, 212, Angel's Tip and Dead Connection.   She is the daughter of writer James Lee Burke, author of the Dave Robicheaux mysteries.​
