Great New Mystery Writer

Have you heard of James Lee Burke? Well, writing mysteries runs in his family. His daughter, Alafair Burke, writes too.
She is the Author of two greatly recognized and successful detective series, both featuring strong-willed female characters.  Along with her latest achievement, Long Gone, Burke has succeeded in capturing a different voice and audience from that of her father.  Featuring much less rugged ranger main characters and more of the independently head-strong heroines, Burke seamlessly writes from her own experiences.

As a graduate from Stanford Law School, she went on to become a prosecutor and is now a former Deputy District Attorney. Presently, Burke lectures about criminal law and procedure as a Professor of Law at Hofstra University.  Her writing is always fresh in her head as she is simultaneously teaching to young minds how to process such circumstances.

If you are looking for a new mystery author, a little different from your usual ventures try any one of Alafair Burke’s novels.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
