Will Trent is a brilliant agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Newly in love, he is beginning to put a difficult past behind him. Then a local college student goes missing, and Will is inexplicably kept off the case by his supervisor and mentor, deputy director Amanda Wagner. Will cannot fathom Amanda’s motivation until the two of them literally collide in an abandoned orphanage they have both been drawn to for different reasons. Decades before, when his father was imprisoned for murder, this was Will’s home. It appears that the case that launched Amanda’s career forty years ago has suddenly come back to life—and it involves the long-held mystery of Will’s birth and parentage. Now these two dauntless investigators will each need to face down demons from the past if they are to prevent an even greater terror from being unleashed.

"I liked the book although it took awhile for me to get the rhythm of the story. The jumps from present day to 1975 were a little hard to follow. It really got interesting at about the halfway point. Glad I stuck with it. There were a couple of interesting twists and surprises at the end. I would like to read more of Karin Slaughter's books. Took me less than two days to finish it."

" I absolutely love Karon Slaughter's Will Trent series. However, this is the worst one. It didn't keep my interest. I could deal with the time hops, but the story telling was pointless. It seemed way too drawn out like she was trying to add words for a word count. Detailed story about Will tearing down a wall? Bring back the Crime! "
— Ljsnana, 3/8/2023" Great Book and Story! Love the Will Trent series! Karin Slaughter is an awesome author. I think I have listened to all her books that are available. "
— Andrea, 3/2/2020" Amazing author and book! It’s a must hear in this series! "
— Diana, 11/17/2017" I usually really enjoy this author's books. I found this one difficult to follow. The changes from past to present were often confusing. "
— Bonnie, 2/18/2014" I just love the writing style of this thriller. I was really drawn into it. "
— Mirjam, 2/18/2014" Because I hadn't read the previous few books in this series (only her earlier stuff), I got a bit lost in the beginning. I really enjoyed the flashbacks with Amanda and Evelyn but I remembered how much I didn't really like the Will Trent character and it's probably why I havent read many of the other novels. Even though he's had a tough life, etc, I think he's soft and needs to stand up for himself especially with his ex, Angie. He's a bit of a plodder and quite irritating. Having said that, after reading reviews of the previous novels, I may go back and read them just to fill in the blanks. I did like how the past and present collided and Slaughter did well with her research. I am just glad I wasn't a female police officer in the 1970s! "
— Karla, 2/5/2014" Like one long episode of CSI but set in the 70's before DNA analysis, and in current day. Very engrossing. Enjoyed it, but not one of my all-time favorites. "
— Sue, 1/7/2014" Hard to put down; not hard to love!! Amazing story from the creative mind of Karin Slaughter who never ceases to amaze me. "
— Jan, 12/31/2013" As good as the others. I really like this author a lot. "
