"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." — Harlan Coben Read More> Follow Alafair on:

Blog A title... finally!! Thursday, May 7, 2009 Many of you were kind enough to help me out a few month ago when I had to come up with a new title for the next Ellie Hatcher book. You might recall that it was supposed to be called LIE TO ME. Then a pesky little guy called Tim Roth decided to star in a television show of the same name. You were all terrific, offering a ton of great alternatives with the same kind of feel. After several rounds of possibilities, we decided to go with a different kind of feel. More work. Aaagh. Long story short: The third book in the Ellie Hatcher series will be called 212, after the famous Manhattan area code. I love it and hope you all do, too. It captures the city feel of the series and will look great on a jacket. Plus it reminds me of 90210, and that's got to be good. Jacket and synopsis to come. Intended pub date this winter. posted by Alafair Burke at 1:47 PM 3 Comments:  Jen Forbus said... Yeah! It's been announced. I don't have to be quiet anymore!!
