In the city of Atlanta, young women are dying—at the hands of a killer who signs his work with a single, chilling act of mutilation. Leaving behind enough evidence to fuel a frenzied police hunt, this cunning madman is bringing together dozens of lives, crossing the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread—and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael’s lover before she became his enemy.

But another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer’s trail in the most coincidental of ways—someone who may be the key to breaking the case wide open….

I've read this book with another narrator, and although I loved the book, I didn't much like the narrator. Karin Slaughter has smartly decided to have it reread by Kathleen Early, who narrates all the other Will Trent books. What a difference! Listening to it with Kathleen's narration made the book so much more enjoyable.
This book introduces us to Will Trent as well as Angie Polaski, who plays a major role is several later books. Also introduced are Leo Donnelly and Pete Hanson, who play minor roles in future books. And who could leave out the inimitable Amanda Wagner, Will's boss, tormentor, and weirdly supportive presence.

Masterfully Read by Kathleen Early

Excellent writing. It felt like listening to a long, yet riveting episode of law and order but with more character development

Ok read or listen, but not great. If someone mentioned Will Trent book 6 months from now I’d be hard pressed to remember anything about the book. Narration good. Kept my interest but predictable story and ending.

It was good! I’ll continue the series! Kind of predictable, but definitely enough twists and turns!

Kept my attention!

I’ve loved this incredible book for a long time, but the previous narrator didn’t do it justice. Early is tuned into Slaughter’s writing style and channels Trent perfectly. Worth purchasing a second time!

Love Kathleen Early’s narration!
