Don't miss the next Will Trent thriller, This Is Why We Lied, coming this August!

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!

There's no police training stronger than a cop's instinct. Faith Mitchell's mother isn't answering her phone. Her front door is open. There's a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother's house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn't see is her mother. . . .

"You know what we're here for. Hand it over, and we'll let her go."

When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions, not enough answers. To find her mother, she'll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they'll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn't just a cop anymore—she's a witness. She's also a suspect.

The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light—or bury it forever.

Karin Slaughter's most exhilarating novel yet is a thrilling journey through the heart and soul, where the personal and the criminal collide, and conflicted loyalties threaten to destroy reputations and ruin lives. It is the work of a master of the thriller at the top of her game, and a whirlwind of unrelenting suspense.

      Slaughter's fans will be thrilled with the newest developments in the lives of Dr. Sara Linton and GBI Agent Will Trent. And in classic Slaughter style, the unpredictable plot with plenty of surprises will keep listeners guessing. The thriller focuses on Will's partner, Detective Faith Mitchell--and the disappearance of her mother--after she comes home to a bloody crime scene. Old and new fans will be engaged by Shannon Cochran's narration. Cochran's natural low vocal register and clear, articulate delivery fully present each character. Her animated tone brings out the engaging details of the many female characters. Cochran's occasional Southern drawl punctuates this Georgia-based series. The listener is pulled into this heart-pounding drama complete with gritty action and forensic details. A.R.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      At the start of Slaughter's gripping third novel to combine characters from her two Georgia-based series (after Broken), Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Faith Mitchell arrives at the Atlanta house of her widowed mother, Evelyn, to find serious trouble: her mother, a retired police captain, is missing; a dead man is lying on the laundry room floor; and an Asian man is holding her mother's pistol to a Hispanic man's head in Evelyn's bedroom. More violence follows. Faith's partner, Will Trent, tries to gather clues without stepping on any jurisdictional toes in the ensuing investigation, but Will fears that Evelyn's kidnapping is tied to a corruption scandal involving Evelyn's past as a narcotics officer, an angle he knows Faith doesn't want to consider. Will's deepening friendship with Dr. Sara Linton, currently working in an Atlanta E.R. and one of the few people able to crack his protective shell, adds depth. Familyâbiological, professional, and everything in betweenâplays a key role in a thriller sure to please Slaughter's many fans.
