Publisher Description

Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember, but when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton -- the town's pediatrician and medical examiner -- finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy.

What seemed at first to be a horrific individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn.

The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, detective Lena Adams, still recovering from her sister's death and her own brutal attack, finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers. But unless Lena, Sara, and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again.

Quotes

  • “Engrossing…[with] meticulous characterizations.” 

    - People

  • “Few young writers show more promise than the thirty-year-old Slaughter. She writes…with skill, anger, sensitivity, and compassion.” 

    - Atlanta Journal-Constitution 

  • “Slaughter has again written a fast-paced thriller for those not faint of heart.” 

    - Library Journal

  • “It’s not easy to transcend a model like Patricia Cornwell, but Slaughter does so in a thriller whose breakneck plotting and not-for-the-squeamish forensics provide grim manifestations of a deeper evil her mystery trumpets without ever quite containing.

    " Yes, the central theme of this book isn't easy to take, but it's wonderfully written. "

    " Equally interesting compared to book 1. There is a lot of reflection back to the crimes in book 1 along with a whole new, equally graphic crime plot that focused on crimes against children. I enjoyed the return of all the characters from book 1, and the crime investigating in this one was a little more predictable making for a pretty quick read. "

    " This is the second book in this series. I really enjoyed it. IMO the first one was much better. I'm curious to see what the third will be like. It does have alot of twists and turns and definitely keeps you quessing. The major characters really stand out, but I would've like to see some of the lesser major ones in this book described and their feelings show up more. All in all a very satisfying read. "

    " I thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd book in the Grant Series. I evened liked it better than Blindsighted. This story is more twisted, and we get more into the main characters back stories. Karin Slaughter is a great storyteller and really draws the reader into the story. I cannot wait to read #3! "

    " Graphic in the murder scenes, but what murder isn't grisly and senseless. She just makes it real, the atrocities that we perpetrate on one another. All of her books are really good. Its a great mystery and I like the realtionship between Sara and Jefferey. I like the fact that she doesn't make it easy for him to get back in her life. "

    " Ik vind dit boek spannender dan het eerste deel. Ik zat meer in het verhaal en had moeite om het boek weg te leggen. Zo graag wilde ik weten hoe het af zou laten. Ik ben benieuwd naar deel 3. Ook heb ik Triptiek van haar bij de bieb geleend. "

    " I liked it, but I think Blindsighted was much better...still, will be getting the next book in this series on my kindle later today. I do like having the continuity of the same main characters in sequential books. "

    " This book was disturbing to say the least. I found it hard to put down, because I just had to know what was going to happen. I Love Slaughter's books, and can't wait to read the next one, but based on the content of this one.....I definitely wouldn't recommend it to the faint. "
