Book Summary
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.
