Alafair Burke

    16 oktober 1969

    Alafair Burke is een New York Times-bestsellerauteur die bekend staat om het creëren van sterke, geloofwaardige en uiterst sympathieke vrouwelijke personages. Haar meeslepende romans zijn diep geworteld in haar ervaring als aanklager bij Amerikaanse politiekorpsen en strafrechtbanken, wat haar verhalen een authentieke stem geeft. Burke wordt beschreven als een "geweldige webspinner" die meesterlijk ingewikkelde plots weeft en behendig aanwijzingen laat vallen om lezers geboeid te houden. Haar werk wordt geprezen om de aangrijpende spanning en de overtuigende ontwikkeling van haar unieke protagonisten.

      When psychotherapist Helen Brunswick is murdered in her Park Slope office, the entire city suspects her estranged husband - until the District Attorney's Office receives an anonymous letter. The letter's author knows a detail that police have kept secret: the victim's bones were broken after she was killed, echoing a signature used twenty years earlier by Anthony Amaro, a serial killer serving a life sentence. Now, Amaro is asking to be released from prison, arguing that he was wrongly convicted, and that the true killer is still on the loose.Ellie Hatcher and her partner JJ Rogan are tapped as the 'fresh look' team to reassess the original investigation that led to Amaro's conviction. The case pits them against both their fellow officers and a hard-charging celebrity defence lawyer with a young associate named Carrie Blank, who has a personal connection to the case. As both the NYPD and Amaro's legal team search for certainty in years of conflicting evidence, their investigations take them back to Carrie's hometown, and to deadly secrets left behind.
