What this book is about
The second Will Trent novel opens with a home invasion and a woman who kills an attacker to protect herself. The investigation reveals layers of violence, secrets, and a case that becomes more disturbing the deeper it goes. Karin Slaughter's crime thrillers are known for their graphic violence — particularly violence against women — and the psychological depth of her characters. Not for sensitive readers; Slaughter does not soften her subject matter.
