Karin Slaughter's novels featuring detective Will Trent are utterly
riveting and masterfully drawn. Her latest thriller, Unseen, pits
detectives, lovers, and enemies against one another in an unforgettable
standoff between righteous courage and deepest evil.
Will Trent is a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent whose latest case
has him posing as Bill Black, a scary ex-con who rides a motorcycle
around Macon, Georgia, and trails an air of violence wherever he goes.
The cover has worked and he has caught the eye of a wiry little drug
dealer who thinks he might be a useful ally. But undercover and cut off
from the support of the woman he loves, Sara Linton, Will finds his
demons catching up with him.
Although she has no idea where Will has gone, or why, Sara herself has
come to Macon because of a cop shooting: Her stepson, Jared, has been
gunned down in his own home. Sara holds Lena, Jared's wife, responsible:
Lena, a detective, has been a magnet for trouble all her life, and
Jared's shooting is not the first time someone Sara loved got caught in
the crossfire. Furious, Sara finds herself involved in the same case
that Will is working without even knowing it, and soon danger is
swirling around both of them.
In a novel of fierce intensity, shifting allegiances, and shocking
twists, two investigations collide with a conspiracy straddling both
sides of the law. Karin Slaughter's latest is both an electrifying
thriller and a piercing study of human nature: what happens when good
people face the unseen evils in their lives.
Praise for Unseen
"Slaughter's most powerful book to date . . . No one writes like
Slaughter. . . . Her words fairly growl on paper but yet her
descriptions of relationships are tear inducing. This may make her an
anomaly but she is the best damn anomaly writing books today. Make
sure you read Unseen."--The Huffington Post
"Compelling . . . [Slaughter] balances a complex plot with believable
twists while sensitively exploring her realistic characters' emotions
and problems."--South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"An emotional roller coaster ride . . . fast-paced and edge-of-your seat
. . . Slaughter is brilliant."--Wichita Falls Times Record
News
"Superb and emotionally wrenching . . . The despicable nature of the
crimes being investigated only serves to enhance Will's innate goodness
and humanity. Current series fans will be delighted, and newcomers to
Slaughter's work will find a new obsession."--Library Journal
"Slaughter plunges readers into the action from the get-go with her
electrifying ability to write suspenseful, riveting confrontations
between cops and criminals, all while deepening the backstories of her
longtime series leads. Another intense read, on multiple levels, from
the ever-reliable Slaughter."--Booklist
"Tense and densely plotted . . . The twisted plot and shocking reveals
remind readers why Slaughter remains a dominant voice in crime
fiction."--Publishers Weekly
