Broken — Karin Slaughter

Karin Slaughter's spellbinding new novel features the return of her most beloved characters and introduces memorable new ones in an unforgettable story of raw emotions, deadly betrayal, and the most painful of human truths.

When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner's death. He doesn't understand why Officer Lena Adams is harboring secrets, or why Dr. Sara Linton, the widow of Grant County's popular police chief, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton's passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver's death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets -- and encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed.
