"The plot of an Alafair Burke thriller doesn't just rip from the headlines. She's one step ahead of them. 212 scares you and keeps you turning the pages into the wee hours."

Another sad 4 am story

Thursday, December 11, 2008

This week our friend Lesa Holstine (frequent poster here and author of Lesa's Book Critiques) commented about the similarities between Angel's Tip and last week's disappearance of a woman missing since she left Manhattan hotspot Marquee at 4 am with a man she apparently didn't know. The details of this tragic case remind me too much of Natalee Holloway, Jennifer Moore, and Imette St. Guillen, the cases that eventually led me, as I explain in the author's note to Angel's Tip, to the plot of that novel. You can read Lesa's thoughts about the eerie similarities between the book and this case here at USA Today. My thoughts are with the young woman's family.
