Bøger af Karin Slaughter

En flygtede. En blev. Hvem er...den gode datter. For otteogtyve år siden blev søstrene Charlotte og Samantha Quinns lykkelige lillebyliv slået i småstykker ved et grusomt angreb på deres barndomshjem. Moderen blev skudt, og hendes død efterlod deres far, Pikevilles berygtede forsvarsadvokat, sønderknust. Den lille familie blev knust og ødelagt for altid, fortæret af minderne og hemmelighederne fra den frygtelige nat. Otteogtyve år senere er Charlie – som den gode datter, hun er – fulgt i sin fars fodspor og selv blevet advokat. Men da volden vender tilbage til Pikeville og chokerer og traumatiserer hele byen, befinder Charlie sig pludselig i sit værste mareridt. Ikke blot er hun et af de første vidner på gerningsstedet, men sagen kan ikke undgå at få alle de forfærdelige minder, hun har brugt alle de mellemliggende år på at fortrænge, til at vende tilbage med fornyet styrke. Den chokerende sandhed om forbrydelsen, der ødelagde hendes familie for næsten tredive år siden, vil ikke forblive begravet for altid.

When Atlanta police detective Michael Ormewood is called out to a murder scene at the notorious Grady Homes, he finds himself faced with one of the the most brutal killings of his career: Aleesha Monroe is found in the stairwell in a pool of her own blood, her body horribly mutilated.

A walk in the woods takes a sinister turn for police chief Jeffrey Tolliver and medical examiner Sara Linton when they stumble across the body of a young girl. Incarcerated in the ground, all the initial evidence indicates that she has been scared to death. But as Sara embarks on the autopsy, something even more horrifying comes to light.

Medical examiner Sara Linton and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver suffer a shockingly brutal attack which threatens to destroy both their lives. While visiting Jeffrey's hometown, they are first on the scene when Jeffrey's best friend Robert shoots dead an intruder who has broken into his home.

The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up.

When a teenage quarrel in the small town of Heartsdale explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton -- paediatrician and medical examiner --finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again...

When Atlanta housewife Abigail Campano comes home one afternoon, she walks into a nightmare. A broken window, a bloody footprint on the stairs and, most devastating of all, the horrifying sight of her teenage daughter lying dead on the landing, a man standing over her with a bloody knife. The struggle which follows changes her life forever.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From Atlanta's wealthiest suburbs to its stark inner-city housing projects, a killer has crossed the boundaries of wealth and race. And the people who are chasing him must cross those boundaries, too. Among them is Michael Ormewood, a veteran detective whose marriage is hanging by a thread-and whose arrogance and explosive temper are threatening his career. And Angie Polaski, a beautiful vice cop who was once Michael's lover before she became his enemy. But unbeknownst to both of them, another player has entered the game: a loser ex-con who has stumbled upon the killer's trail in the most coincidental of ways-and who may be the key to breaking the case wide open. In this gritty, gripping firecracker of a novel, the author of the bestselling Grant County, Georgia, series breaks thrilling new ground, weaving together the threads of a complex, multilayered story with the skill of a master craftsman. Packed with body-bending switchbacks, searing psychological suspense and human emotions, Triptych ratchets up the tension one revelation at a time as it races to a shattering and unforgettable climax.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERKarin 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.
