Publisher's Summary

The past will always find you. A woman is found brutally murdered in a sordid Atlanta apartment. Her blood-soaked body bears a startling similarity to a woman found dead almost 40 years earlier.

Critic Reviews

“The best Will Trent novel yet from the aptly named American.” (Picked as one of the Telegraph’s top ten crime books to take on holiday)
“Karin Slaughter has carved a career out of thriller writing... her prolific sales have seen her on the best-seller lists for more than a decade. She has brought to life a murderer whose depravities will test even the hardest of hearts.” ( Press Association )

The twists and turns

Finally got the answers about Will and Amanda's connection.
Brilliant plot. Imagine how hard it was for all women in Police Forces at that time.

Amazing!

I felt it started a little slowly but then… OMG! I could see where the plot was going. Fantastic listen.
Interesting how bizarre the behaviours of male cops back in Amanda’s early years.
I’m another who could not stop listening. Very gritty in parts. Smashing ending too!

Excellent - loved the ending!

A sometimes gruesome but very good read with interesting characters and flashbacks to past events in their lives.
