NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Features a new introduction on the
origins of the Will Trent novels and Broken's place in the series
Karin Slaughter's internationally bestselling novels are as notable for
their vivid portraits of lives shadowed by loss and heartbreak as they
are for their dramatic criminal investigations. Broken features the
return of her most compelling characters and introduces memorable new
ones in a tale of corruption, murder, and confrontation that will leave
more than one life . . .
When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police
department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered
questions about a prisoner's death. He doesn't understand why Officer
Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn't understand her role in
the death of Grant County's popular police chief. He doesn't understand
why that man's widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to
help her crack this case.
While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled
from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting
pressure on Adams just when she's already about to crack. Caught between
two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton's
passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver's
death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a
case filled with explosive secrets--and encounter a thin blue line that
could be murderous if crossed.
Spellbinding and keenly paced, Broken is Karin Slaughter at her best.
Here is an unforgettable story of raw emotions, dangerous assumptions,
the deadly and layered game of betrayal, and a man's determination to
expose the most painful of human truths--no matter how deeply they're
hidden . . . or how devastating.
