He watches. He waits. He takes. Who will be next . . .
THE SILENT WIFE
The New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her and The
Last Widow returns with another electrifying Will Trent thriller.
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.
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?
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.
When the past and present begin to collide, Will realizes that
everything he values is at stake . . .
