'Her characters, plot, and pacing are unrivalled' MICHAEL CONNELLY
_________________________________________
The sixth book in Karin Slaughter's #1 bestselling GRANT COUNTY series.
Lena Adams has spent her life struggling to forget her childhood in Reece, the small town which nearly destroyed her. She's made a new life as a police detective in Heartsdale - but nothing could prepare her for the violence which explodes when she is forced to return.
A vicious murder leaves a young woman incinerated beyond recognition. And Lena is the only suspect.
Her boss, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, has no choice but to help. Soon after his arrival, a second victim is found dead and the town closes ranks.
Jeffrey is soon entangled in a horrifying underground world of bigotry and rage.
Can he discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

No one does American small-town evil more chillingly ... Slaughter tells a dark story that grips and doesn't let go * The Times * Thoroughly gripping, yet thoroughly gruesome stuff * Daily Mirror * It's beautifully paced, appropriately grisly, and terrifyingly plausible * Time Out *More details
