“[A] white knuckle thriller…Burke expertly weaves real-life headlines into her plot…without ever sacrificing originality.”
- Publishers Weekly
Cybercrime is in the news almost daily, sometimes moving beyond the usual email scams into the horrific realm of the Craig’s List Killer. In today’s Free Fridays selection, 212, thriller writer Alafair Burke creates a truly terrifying story ripped straight from the headlines.
A young NYU student suspects that her life is in danger—a series of hateful anonymous web postings suggest that someone is watching her every move. Her friends assure her it’s only a prank, but they soon find out how wrong they were, when she turns up murdered.
When NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher and her no-nonsense partner J. J. Rogan begin digging into the murder, they find some strange connections to a seemingly unrelated case. As they peel back the layers, it becomes clear that the web is the ideal place for strange bedfellows to connect, and an even better place for a motivated murderer to find their next victim.
This fast-paced introduction to Burke’s thrilling Ellie Hatcher series will have you ready to download Hatcher’s other adventures as soon as you turn the last page.
Free Fridays Recommends
Each week, we ask our featured author to recommend a book or author that you may want to check out. Since authors are such passionate readers themselves, we thought you might like to find out what they love to read, too! Here’s what Alafair recommends:
I love the inside-baseball details of a good police procedural. I also love strong characters who continue to evolve and reveal themselves to us, years after we first met them. Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series is about as good as they come. I've read them all, but The Black Echo was the beginning.
