Product Description
?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.

 Fractured December 24, 2008
One of the best books I've read this year. I couldn't put it down until I finished it.Having lived in Atlanta I'm very familiar with the area described in the book and it's very accurate.
Karin Slaughter has raised the bar.

 Will Trent How Does He Do It? November 15, 2008
I like this new cast of characters for Karin Slaughter. Will Trent is a great character!!! Its shocking how messed up his previously life was that he's somewhat normal. Im torn if he should be with Angie or not, I don't even think he knows!! I like Faith and glad that he's getting a partner now!!! It will be interesting to see how well they work together. Cannot wait for the next book!!!

Nicely done murder mystery, but I won't be giving up Kathy Reich's, Martha Grimes, P.D.James, etc. any time soon.
Also the author has a childish tendency to interject anti-Northern sentinments into the story.
Really the war is over--build a bridge and ...
