The sixth Will Trent novel, from the no.1 bestselling author.
A woman is found brutally murdered in a sordid Atlanta apartment.
But there is something strange about this particular slaying. Her blood-soaked body bears a chilling similarity to a woman found dead almost 40 years earlier. Could it be the work of a long-dormant serial killer?
Soon Special Agent Will Trent finds himself returning to the home he grew up in, and a past that could hold the clue to the killings.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the outset of Slaughter's tense fourth thriller to combine characters from her two crime series (after 2011's Fallen), life is running smoothly for agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as he eases into a new relationship with Dr. Sara Linton, until the abduction of 19-year-old college student Ashleigh Snyder. When his GBI mentor and boss, Deputy Director Amanda Wagner, specifically tells him to stay away from the case, Will knows something is wrong. Flashback to 1975, when Amanda is a rookie in the Atlanta Police Department, along with Evelyn Mitchell, who later becomes the mother of Faith, Will's GBI partner. The APD at that time is rife with racism and sexism, but Amanda and Evelyn refuse to abandon the case of several missing prostitutes, despite warnings from other (male) detectives to back off. Slaughter seamlessly shifts between past and present, while her usual attentive eye for character and carefully metered violence is on full display. 6 to 8 city author tour.

Couldn’t put this book down, brilliant characters and storytelling, unsettling at times but such a good read.
Fantastic

Worth it
I found this book slightly hard to read by constantly shifting time and character but wasn’t long it had taken hold and was hard to put down, a very good, deep, insightful read
