The Ellie Hatcher series by Alafair Burke stars an NYPD homicide detective who brings both sharp investigative instincts and a complicated personal history to her cases. The series begins with Dead Connection (2007) and runs through six novels, with each book presenting a new murder investigation set against the backdrop of New York City.

Hatcher’s motivation stems in part from her father’s unsolved murder when she was a child in Kansas. That personal stake gives the series an emotional thread that runs beneath the procedural surface. From online dating killers in Dead Connection to cold cases in All Day and a Night (2014), the books combine realistic police work with psychological depth.
