The author of the acclaimed standalone Pretty Girls returns with this long-awaited new novel in her bestselling Will Trent series-an electrifying, emotionally complex thriller that plunges the Georgia detective into the darkest depths of a case that just might destroy him. With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are 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 searing novel of love, loss, and redemption. A seamless blend of twisty police procedural and ingenious psychological thriller, it marks Karin Slaughter's triumphant return to her most popular series, sure to please new and diehard fans alike.
