critically acclaimed author of suspense novels

Alison Gaylin's first book, nominated for an Edgar in the Best First Novel category. Samantha Leiffer already has a self-obsessed self-help guru for a mother, a cadre of off-kilter Greenwich Village pals, and an ex-boyfriend who cheated on her with both sexes. She doesn't need more grief. But when she accidentally spies two people dumping an ice chest into the Hudson River, her once-safe life takes a very dangerous turn…

"Sharp debut suspense… a consistently entertaining evocation of Manhattan's strange and artsy underside, narrated by a heroine with a beautifully judged blend of warmth and wit, independence and edge."
