Burke leaves Samatha Kincaid and Portland temporarily behind to set this novel, first in a new series, in the thick of Manhattan where a killer preys on young women after finding them through an online personals network, and NYPD cop Ellie Hatcher is tasked with finding him. She's likeable, capable and doesn't succumb to any vapors while Burke keeps a nicely tuned amount of tension that builds to a strong finish. Those who like Lisa Gardner and Allison Brennan should pick this book up in July.
