Fractured

Fractured

â‚¬Å“Breathless tension!â‚¬Â raved the San Francisco Chronicle. â‚¬Å“One of [the yearâ‚¬s] most remarkable achievements,â‚¬Â crowed the Philadelphia Inquirer. Karin Slaughter dazzled readers and critics alike with Triptych, her New York Times bestselling suspense novel set in metropolitan Atlanta. Now the #1 internationally bestselling author returns to the damaged landscape she knows so well in a bold new novelâ‚¬"at once a powder keg of suspense, a gritty portrait of a copâ‚¬s life, and a searing exploration of a shocking crime and its aftermathâ‚¬Â¦

With its gracious homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of Atlantaâ‚¬s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one gleaming mansion, in a teenagerâ‚¬s lavish bedroom, a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughterâ‚¬s attacker with her bare hands.

Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon sees something that the cops are missing, something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother. Within minutes, Trent is taking over the caseâ‚¬"and adding another one to it. He is sure that another teenage girl is missing, and that a killer is on the loose.

Armed with only fleeting clues, teamed with a female cop who has her own personal reasons for hating him, Trent has enemies all around himâ‚¬"and a gnawing feeling that this case, which started in the best of homes, is cutting quick and deep through the ruins of perfect lives broken wide-open: where human demons emerge with a vengeance.
