Publisher Description
After a layoff and months of struggling, Alice Humphrey finally lands her dream job managing a new art gallery in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking District. According to Drew Campbell, the well-suited corporate representative who hires her, the gallery is a passion project for its anonymous, wealthy, and eccentric owner. Drew assures Alice that the owner will be hands off, allowing her to run the gallery on her own. Her friends think it sounds too good to be true, but Alice sees a perfect opportunity to make a name for herself beyond the shadow of her famous father, an award-winning and controversial film maker. Everything is perfect until the morning Alice arrives at work to find the gallery gone—the space stripped bare as if it had never existed—and Drew Campbell’s dead body on the floor. Overnight, Alice’s dream job has vanished, and she finds herself at the center of police attention with nothing to prove her innocence. The phone number Drew gave her links back to a disposable phone. The artist whose work she displayed doesn’t seem to exist. And the dead man she claims is Drew has been identified as someone else. When police discover ties between the gallery and a missing girl, Alice knows she’s been set up. Now she has to prove it—a dangerous search for answers that will entangle her in a dark, high-tech criminal conspiracy and force her to unearth long-hidden secrets involving her own family . . . secrets that could cost Alice her life.

"This was a very well written book. This had a very creative plot and interesting characters. There were some points in the book that I guessed right and other aspects that definitely surprised me. This was a real page turner and got more so as you got deeper into the book. I enjoyed her writing so much that I recently picked up another one of her books."

Long Gone Listener Reviews

" It was OK, an easy read with a couple of twists at the end, nothing too special though. "
— Sally, 2/17/2014 -
" Excellent. I truly did not expect such wonderful weaving of intrigue and subplots. A great who-done-it that honestly cannot be guessed. A must read. "
— Bree, 2/12/2014 -
" Good mystery story. "
— Kathy, 1/31/2014 -
" The whole identity theft thing was pretty interesting, but I found myself liking the descriptions of New York - the neighborhoods, restaurants and people, more than the plot or the characters of this book. "
— Monica, 1/23/2014 -
" Pretty good mystery/thriller...not great. "
— Susanna, 1/21/2014 -
" The alternating perspectives were ok, not wonderful but ok. The author tried to include a lot of story lines but one was just out of place. "
— Samantha, 1/17/2014 -
" Interesting suspense novel, stolen identity and crime are well developed themes in this novel. A great summer read. "
— Marysue, 1/12/2014 -
" This would have been SO much better without all the language. It kept me guessing the entire time, adding new twists along the way to the end. "
— Annie, 12/31/2013 -
" Lots of twists and turns. Some I saw coming and some I didnt. Good mystery. "
— Anne, 12/15/2013 -
" Wow...don't know that I can say enough good about this book! So many twists and turns, and yet it all gels into an understandable and fascinating story! No way could I have ever pieced it all together, and that's what I like! Yep, I love Alafair Burke! "
— Lynn, 8/5/2013 -
" Alafair's stand alone mystery arrived last evening. She has made this a fun reading experience with an exclusive reading club and give away. I am looking forward to her author event at the Biltmore this weekend: Poisoned Pen Conference 2011. "

" Fantastic book!! Well written and quite a mystery. Never saw what was coming at the end. I will definitely read more by this author! "
— Harriet, 1/22/2013 -
" It held my interest, and I really wanted to like it. But it was so convoluted, with so many characters and unrelated plot points. And then entirely too many things had to happen for it to fit together, and several plot lines were disappointingly resolved. "
— Gena, 10/26/2012 -
" A good suspense read. "
— Eunice, 10/1/2012 -
" Very nicely written. Loved the plot twists and surprises! "
— LaRaine, 7/11/2012 -
" Murder-mystery, moved along fairly quickly without being too deep or complicated. "
— Carrie, 6/23/2012 -
" Good book. I always enjoy Alafair Burke and what a trip reading my name at the end. That was a nice touch and I have never seen my name in a published book before! "
— Linda, 2/10/2012 -
" This is a great book and always keeps you guessing. "
— Michelle, 1/24/2012 -
" First stand-alone from Alafair Burke, and it is her best yet. It took a little extra concentration at the begining as she spun out several threads to follow - but hold on and take notes (mental) so you can immerse yourself in this tightly constructed story. "
