An Instant New York Times Bestseller From the New York Times bestselling author of The Bankers Wife, worlds collide when an FBI agent investigates a string of grisly murders on Long Island that raises the impossible question: What happens when the primary suspect is your father? FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasnt been home in ten years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. And Suffolk County will always be awash in memories of her mother, Marisol, who was murdered when Nell was just seven. When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her fathers ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her fathers partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect--and that his friends on the police force are covering his tracks. Plagued by doubts about her mothers murder--and her own role in exonerating her father in that case--Nell cant help but ask questions about who killed Ria Ruiz and Adriana Marques and why. But she may not like the answers she finds--not just about those she loves, but about herself.

Girls Like Us isnt just a page-turner; it also examines class, race, and power on Long Island through the point of view of a protagonist who straddles those lines. -Buzzfeed “The type of thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page.” -PopSugar A truly timely, ripped-from-the-headlines tale of exploitation, abuse, and corruption. Tautly wound police-procedural-thriller aside, Algers novel is a smart, searing indictment of just one of the many contemporary examples of the haves vs. the have-nots. -Seattle Review of Books Algers novel is highly political, deeply felt and fast-paced. -The Sunday Times (UK) Cristina Alger has perfected the character of the smart, spunky heroine....[I] couldnt put down Girls Like Us. -Shelter Island Reporter “Plenty of surprises and some unexpected twists to push you to the finish, and lots of tension along the way.
