Description
In Criminal, Karin Slaughter masterfully intertwines past and present in this gripping instalment of the Will Trent series. When a young college student vanishes, Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Will Trent finds himself unexpectedly removed from the case by his mentor, Deputy Director Amanda Wagner. Confused and frustrated, Will’s search for answers leads him to a derelict orphanage — the same place he once called home after his father’s imprisonment for murder.
As the investigation unfolds, long-buried secrets resurface, linking the current disappearance to a decades-old case that first made Amanda’s career. Both investigators must confront haunting truths about their own pasts while racing to stop a killer whose crimes span generations. Slaughter’s signature blend of raw emotion, meticulous plotting, and unflinching realism makes this one of the most powerful books in the series.
A deeply emotional and suspenseful read, Criminal is perfect for fans of dark, character-driven crime thrillers that keep you thinking long after the final page.
