What this book is about
A teenage girl is shot at Grant County's skating rink in what first appears to be a murder-suicide. What Dr. Sara Linton and Chief Jeffrey Tolliver uncover is a pattern of exploitation that runs deep into the community — and connects to people no one would suspect. Kisscut is the second Grant County novel by Karin Slaughter — significantly darker than Blindsighted; the exploitation of children is central.
