Publisher Description
Don’t miss the next Will Trent thriller, This Is Why We Lied, coming this August!
WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!
“Breathless tension!” raved the San Francisco Chronicle. “One of [the year’s] most remarkable achievements,” crowed the Philadelphia Inquirer. Karin Slaughter dazzled readers and critics alike with Triptych, her New York Times bestselling suspense novel set in metropolitan Atlanta. Now the #1 internationally bestselling author returns to the damaged landscape she knows so well in a bold new novel—at once a powder keg of suspense, a gritty portrait of a cop’s life, and a searing exploration of a shocking crime and its aftermath…
With its gracious homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one gleaming mansion, in a teenager’s lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter’s attacker with her bare hands.
Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon sees something that the cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother. Within minutes, Trent is taking over the case—and adding another one to it. He is sure that another teenage girl is missing, and that a killer is on the loose.
Armed with only fleeting clues, teamed with a female cop who has her own personal reasons for hating him, Trent has enemies all around him—and a gnawing feeling that this case, which started in the best of homes, is cutting quick and deep through the ruins of perfect lives broken wide-open: where human demons emerge with a vengeance.

"Housewife Abigail Campano arrives home unexpectedly one afternoon and walks into a twisted nightmare. A bloody footprint on the stairs and the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, she also sees a man standing over her with a bloody knife. Those next few minutes change Abigail's life forever. When local police make a series of mistakes, they place a young girl's life in danger. Enter Will Trent and detective Faith Mitchell - a woman who resents being paired with Trent. Eventually, Will and Faith come to terms with the fact that must work together to track down the person who has targeted one of Atlanta's wealthiest communities."

" This isn't a bad book. This genre just doesn't capture my interest. Half way through I realized that this is the second book about a dyslexic detective investigating the kidnapping of a teenage girl that I've read, yet I have no idea what that first book was. I probably wont be reading a third. "
