********************************
FBI Agent Nell Flynn is about to work the most personal case of her life.
When her father Martin dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns home to Long Island for the first time in a decade.
Martin, a homicide detective, left one piece of unfinished business. He was investigating the murders of two undocumented Latina girls. Now his partner wants Nell's help to find the killer.
But Nell soon realises that Martin should be the prime suspect, and that his friends on the force are covering for him.
With no idea who she can trust, Nell also starts to question events that took place when she was a child - when her own mother was murdered. Could her father really be a killer?

'GIRLS LIKE US is a smart thriller that will keep you guessing' POPSUGAR
GIRLS LIKE US is the best of psychological suspense: nuanced, expertly fast-paced, and full of surprises you truly don't see coming. Cristina Alger is my kind of writer - as graceful on the page as she is gritty (Harlan Coben)
A smashing read. Instantly gripping and compulsively readable, with a heroine as vulnerable as she is tenacious (Riley Sager, author of The Final Girls)
GIRLS LIKE US is something special: A beautiful, deeply textured novel and a poignant, surprising mystery. I loved it, every chapter and every word. I'm going to be thinking about it as a reader, a father, and a storyteller for a long, long time. (Chris Bohjalian, author of The Flight Attendant)
Cristina Alger, who is known for creating pulse-pounding plots and gutsy female protagonists, has done it again. Gritty, twisty, and unputdownable, GIRLS LIKE US is sure to be the thriller to read this season. (Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, authors of The Wife Between Us)
[An] excellent crime novel. . . [Alger] captures the social dynamics of Suffolk's eastern extremes perfectly . . . Highly recommended (Booklist)
Tautly wound police-procedural-thriller aside, Alger's 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)

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'GIRLS LIKE US is the best of psychological suspense: nuanced, expertly fast-paced, and full of surprises you truly don't see coming. Cristina Alger is my kind of writer - as graceful on the page as she is gritty' HARLAN COBENFBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't 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, who was brutally 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 father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young Latina 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 mother's murder - and her own role in exonerating her father in that case - Nell can't 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. Worlds collide when an FBI agent investigates a string of grisly murders on Long Island that raises the impossible question: What happens when the prime suspect is your father?
