Amazon.com description: Product Description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Â
âA complex, gripping and deadly serious novel that reflects anew Slaughter's abundant talent.ââThe Washington Post
Â
âAn amazing effort . . . This is [Karin] Slaughterâs best book to date, and readers unfamiliar with her work will find this one a perfect place to begin.ââAssociated Press
Â
Thereâs no police training stronger than a copâs instinct. Faith Mitchellâs mother isnât answering her phone. Her front door is open. Thereâs a bloodstain above the knob. Everything Faith learned in the academy goes out the window when she charges into her motherâs house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room, a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesnât see is her mother. When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions. Sheâll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and trauma doctor Sara Linton to get some answers. But Faith isnât just a cop anymore, sheâs a witnessâand a suspect. To find her mother, Faith will have to cross the thin blue line and bring the truth to lightâor bury it forever.
Â
âAn absolute master . . . Slaughter creates some wonderfully complex and mature female characters, a distinctive achievement in the world of thrillers.ââChicago Tribune
Â
âSlaughter has always known how to pace the suspense in her stellar crime novels, but she really outdoes herself here. . . . [She] reveals the heart and soul of her characters within a highly choreographed, unrelentingly suspenseful plot.ââBooklist (starred review)
