Review by: Tartu
Alafair Burke (daughter of best selling author James Lee Burke) has
written another stand alone mystery/suspense novel. McKenna Jordan left
the NY DA's office ten years ago after she accused a cop of using a
drop gun to justify the shooting of a young man. At the same time, her
best friend Susan disappeared and no one has seen nor heard from her
since. When a would be thief is plucked from the tracks in front of an
oncoming subway car, McKenna is certain the woman in the video is Susan
and sets out to find out if her friend is still alive and perhaps living
in Manhattan.
The plot is multi-layered, and the more layers McKenna
peels back, the more she realizes she doesn't really know anyone as well
as she thinks she does, including her husband of five years. There
are a lot of twists and turns, almost too many, but McKenna, who has
been a reporter since leaving the DA's office, uses her
investigative skills from both jobs to untangle a ten year old mystery
that is a life changer for everyone.
