What this book is about
The fourth Will Trent novel brings Sara Linton from the Grant County series into the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's world, as she and Will investigate murders in a small town connected to her past. Slaughter writes her most violent mainstream thriller; the crimes are extremely graphic and the backstory of what happened to Sara makes this the most intense book in either of her series. For adult readers only.
