When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police
department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions
about a prisoner’s death. He doesn’t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding
secrets from him. He doesn’t understand her role in the death of Grant County’s
popular police chief. He doesn’t understand why that man’s widow, Dr.Sara
Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case.
While
the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid
lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when
she’s already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined
women, trying to understand Linton’s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts
surrounding Chief Tolliver’s death, and the complexities of this insular town,
Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets—and encounter a thin
blue line that could be murderous if crossed.
Karin Slaughter is one of my favorite suspense authors. Her characters are well-drawn and there are lots of twists and turns to her plots. Many of her novels are part of a series and the characters in the novels often show up in other series. Each book offers a little more back-story of the main characters, which helps the reader understand the characters better. If you are a reader of suspense novels, pick up Karin Slaughter.
