Publisher Description
It’s the most dangerous case of Will Trent’s career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body lies on the floor—the body of an ex-cop. Bloody footprints leading away from the scene reveal that another victim, evidently a woman, was carried away … and has vanished into thin air. And, worst of all, the warehouse belongs to the city’s biggest and most high-profile athlete—a local hero protected by the world’s most expensive lawyers. A hero married to Will’s ex-wife. A hero whom Will’s superiors at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have spent the last six months investigating for rape.
But for Will—and also for Sara Linton, the GBI’s newest medical examiner—the case is about to get even worse. Because an unexpected discovery at the scene reveals a personal link to Will’s troubled past … and the consequences will wreak havoc on his life and the lives of those he loves, those he works with, and those he pursues.
Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, peopled with characters who leap from the page, The Kept Woman marks Karin Slaughter’s triumphant return to her most popular series.

Quotes
-
“Will Trent is back, and narrator Kathleen Early delivers the Georgia investigator and series regulars with every one of Karin Slaughter’s convoluted plot twists and emotional complexities in place…Early is especially effective in the lengthy flashback explaining the events that occurred in the week before the murder. As she keeps the characters real and the tension high, she never misses the nuances packed into this clever, gripping mystery.”

“One of her most engrossing thrillers yet.”
— Huffington Post -
“A thriller that’s part True Detective, part The Girl on the Train. All parts gripping.”
— Skimm -
“This is a page-turner, of course, but it’s also a multilayered exploration of choices and consequences and the lasting effects of damage done.”
— Library Journal (starred review) -
“A drama-filled, procedural mystery.”
— RT Book Reviews -
“An intense look at the nature of loss and control, and how love can taint both.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“After two intense stand-alones Slaughter brings back the regulars whose personal problems are just as dark, urgent, and potentially violent as those of the criminals they investigate…A matchless series in which, just as in grand opera, nothing ordinary ever happens.”
