WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC!
**"Part True Detective, part The Girl on the Train. All parts
gripping." --theSkimm **
The New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her returns
with an electrifying, emotionally complex thriller that plunges Will
Trent into the darkest depths of a mystery that just might destroy
him.
Husbands and wives. Mothers and daughters. The past and the future.
Secrets bind them. And secrets can destroy them. ****
With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will
Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case
that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an
ex-cop.
Studying the body, Sara Linton--the GBI's newest medical examiner and
Will's lover--realizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to
the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene
indicate there is another victim--a woman--who has vanished . . . and
who will die soon if she isn't found.
Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the city's most
popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete
protected by the world's most expensive lawyers--a man who's already
gotten away with rape, despite Will's exhaustive efforts to put him
away.
But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Will's troubled past
to the case . . . and the consequences will tear through his life with
the force of a tornado, wreaking havoc for Will and everyone around him,
including his colleagues, family, friends--and even the suspects he
pursues.
Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, peopled with conflicted,
fallible characters who leap from the page, The Kept Woman is a
seamless blend of twisty police procedural and ingenious psychological
thriller -- a searing, unforgettable novel of love, loss, and
redemption.
