Fractured

Karin Slaughter

With its gracious homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of Atlanta's most desirable neighborhoods. But in one gleaming mansion a girl has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her terrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having killed her daughter's attacker with her bare hands. The murder is under Atlanta police jurisdiction, but Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is at the scene as a political favor. He quickly sees things the cops are missing - something in the trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in the eyes of the shell-shocked mother. Armed with only fleeting clues with a female cop who has personal reasons for hating him, Trent is determined to follow the clues wherever they may lead
