When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene, he finds himself faced with one of the most brutal murders of his career.
As a one-off killing it is shocking, but it soon becomes clear Aleesha Monroe is just the latest victim in a series of similar attacks.
Twenty-four hours later, the violence Michael sees every day explodes in his own back yard.
And it seems the mystery surrounding Monroe's death is inextricably entangled with a past that refuses to stay buried...

Karin Slaughter, Sunday Times bestseller, July 2023
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Slaughter departs from her Grant County crime series (Faithless, etc.) with a stand-alone thriller notable mainly for a jolting mid-book twist similar to one Ira Levin used with more subtlety in A Kiss Before Dying. The case of a prostitute's brutal murder provides a welcome break for Michael Ormewood, a cynical, world-weary Atlanta cop weighed down by dealing with the city's underclass and the heartbreak of a mentally impaired son. Since the victim's tongue was severed, linking the crime to several other recent outrages, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation intervenes. Suspicions focus on a recently paroled sex offender, John Shelley, who viciously butchered a neighbor more than a decade earlier. Slaughter unexpectedly switches the narrative's perspective, but the shock value garnered by the plot twist isn't matched by the predictable denouement.
Customer Reviews
I was hooked!
I have recently started reading again and picked up this book after a family member had recommended the author. I was not disappointed at all, I don’t think I have thought about or been so glued to a book as much as I have this one. I enjoyed the characters in this book so much, I felt close to them, felt emotions for them, and the story! Wow! The twists and turns, I didn’t want to put the book down! Just one more chapter turned into me finishing the last 75% in one day. Absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
A great start to a fantastic series
This is probably the fourth time I’ve read this book and I still enjoy it - getting ready for Book 11 in the series so I needed to get my Will Trent fix.
Great Book
Gripping from start to finish. Love the characterisation. I feel like I know these people.
