<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "When a battered young woman is left for dead, a prisoner in the state penitentiary points out that the attack closely resembles the one for which he was convicted-and which he insists he didn't commit. Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Will Trent enlists the help of his girlfriend, medical examiner Sara Linton, to investigate the new case in light of the older one." <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong>Instant <em>New York Times</em> Bestseller!</strong></p><p><strong>"If you're into mystery thrillers, then you're into Karin Slaughter." --THESKIMM</strong></p><p><strong>He watches. He waits. He takes. Who will be next . . .</strong></p><p><strong>THE SILENT WIFE</strong><strong></strong></p><p><strong>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Pieces of Her</em> and <em>The Last Widow </em>returns with another electrifying thriller.</strong></p><p>Investigating the killing of a prisoner during a riot inside a state penitentiary, GBI investigator Will Trent is confronted with disturbing information. One of the inmates claims that he is innocent of a brutal attack for which he has always been the prime suspect. The man insists that he was framed by a corrupt law enforcement team led by Jeffrey Tolliver and that the real culprit is still out there--a serial killer who has systematically been preying on women across the state for years. If Will reopens the investigation and implicates the dead police officer with a hero's reputation of wrongdoing, the opportunistic convict is willing to provide the information GBI needs about the riot murder. </p><p>Only days ago, another young woman was viciously murdered in a state park in northern Georgia. Is it a fluke, or could there be a serial killer on the loose? </p><p>As Will Trent digs into both crimes it becomes clear that he must solve the cold case in order to find the answer. Yet nearly a decade has passed--time for memories to fade, witnesses to vanish, evidence to disappear, and lies to become truth. But Will can't crack either mystery without the help of the one person he doesn't want involved: his girlfriend and Jeffrey Tolliver's widow, medical examiner Sara Linton. </p> <p>When the past and present begin to collide, Will realizes that everything he values is at stake . . .</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "If you're into mystery thrillers, then you're into Karin Slaughter." --<strong>theSkimm</strong> </br></br>An all-time HQ fave . . . it gets dark.
