WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!

New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter brings back Will Trent and Sara Linton in this superb and timely thriller full of devious twists, disturbing secrets, and shocking surprises you won’t see coming.

A mysterious kidnapping

On a hot summer night, a scientist from the Centers for Disease Control is grabbed by unknown assailants in a shopping center parking lot. Vanished into thin air, the authorities are desperate to save the doctor.

A devastating explosion

One month later, the serenity of a sunny Sunday afternoon is shattered by the boom of a ground-shaking blast—followed by another seconds later. One of Atlanta’s busiest and most important neighborhoods —the location of Emory University, two major hospitals, the FBI headquarters, and the CDC—has been bombed.

A diabolical enemy

Medical examiner Sara Linton and her partner Will Trent, an investigator with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, rush to the scene—and into the heart of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to destroy thousands of innocent lives. When the assailants abduct Sara, Will goes undercover to save her and prevent a massacre—putting his own life on the line for the woman and the country he loves.

Critic reviews

"[Narrator Kathleen Early] masterfully differentiates the main characters and delivers a chilling depiction of the militia leader. A gripping listen." (AudioFile Magazine)

Great Storyline

I enjoyed the multiple vantage points to the story—what unfolds for different people at the same times. It is fun to get different pieces of the puzzle revealed from different points of view. I loved seeing everyone work their piece to foil the plan of terrorism. I’ve been following Will and Sarah for several books now and enjoy the complexities of their relationship. This was the first book where there wasn’t some big PERSONAL conflict they they had to overcome, so I enjoyed that. The prior books have a great deal of relationship drama where they take turns being angry at the other for various slights. This was a bigger conflict that they had to face together!

One of my all time favorite series.

The only negative thing I can say about it is that it had to end.

Will Trent HIT!

This story is so filled out and keeps you rooting for the GBI and the women in his life

Possible Scary Reality

This book is very relevant to the climate and fracture that lies within the USA.

Interesting but Long

This story was interesting and had good twists but seemed a little too drawn out at times. Kathy Early did a good job as narrator but read a little fast for me. I had to lower the speed to .9
