PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the outset of Slaughter's tense fourth thriller to combine characters from her two crime series (after 2011's Fallen), life is running smoothly for agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as he eases into a new relationship with Dr. Sara Linton, until the abduction of 19-year-old college student Ashleigh Snyder. When his GBI mentor and boss, Deputy Director Amanda Wagner, specifically tells him to stay away from the case, Will knows something is wrong. Flashback to 1975, when Amanda is a rookie in the Atlanta Police Department, along with Evelyn Mitchell, who later becomes the mother of Faith, Will's GBI partner. The APD at that time is rife with racism and sexism, but Amanda and Evelyn refuse to abandon the case of several missing prostitutes, despite warnings from other (male) detectives to back off. Slaughter seamlessly shifts between past and present, while her usual attentive eye for character and carefully metered violence is on full display. 6 to 8 city author tour.
Customer Reviews
Best in the series so far
I’m currently reading all the Trent/Grant County books in order and this has been by far and away the best one yet. Expertly written, stories weaving intrinsically made it a little hard to get into but stick with it, it’s worth every page!
Excellent read, gripping and thrilling.
Couldn’t put this book down, brilliant characters and storytelling, unsettling at times but such a good read.
Fantastic
