Karin Slaughter

The stunning new thriller from international No.1 bestseller Karin Slaughter, author of Pieces of Her, now a major Netflix series

Now on Netflix Starring Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote Mother. Hero. Liar. Killer. How can you tell when all you have is... PIECES OF HERWhat if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all . . . ? Andrea knows everything about her mother, Laura. She knows she's spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Belle Isle; she knows she's never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she's never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don't we? But all that changes when a trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she's been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one would ever find her. But now she's been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again. The police want answers and Laura's innocence is on the line, but she won't speak to anyone, including her own daughter. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumb trail of her mother's past. And if she can't uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them. . . .

Leigh Collier har jobbat hårt för det liv hon har. Ett eftertraktat jobb som försvarsadvokat, en skötsam dotter, till och med skilsmässan från exmannen var hyfsat civiliserad. Hennes liv är precis så välordnat som hon alltid önskat. Men bakom allt detta döljer sig en uppväxt som var allt annat än vanlig ... När Leigh får i uppdrag att försvara en förmögen man som står anklagad för våldtäkt ser hon det först som ett steg i karriären. Men när hon möter honom inser hon att det inte är någon slump att hans fall hamnat på hennes bord. Hon känner igen honom, och han henne. Eller, rättare sagt, han känner till hennes historia och vet varför hon ägnat tjugo år åt att försöka glömma. Om Leigh inte får honom fälld kommer hon att förlora allt. Den enda som kan hjälpa henne är hennes lillasyster - den sista person hon vill ha kontakt med. Men nu har hon inte längre något val."…intrigen innehåller åtskilliga överraskningar.

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC "If you're into mystery thrillers, then you're into Karin Slaughter." --THESKIMMHe watches. He waits. He takes. Who will be next . . . THE SILENT WIFEInvestigating the killing of a prisoner during a riot inside a state penitentiary, GBI investigator Will Trent is confronted with disturbing information. One of the inmates claims that he is innocent of a brutal attack for which he has always been the prime suspect. The man insists that he was framed by a corrupt law enforcement team led by Jeffrey Tolliver and that the real culprit is still out there--a serial killer who has systematically been preying on women across the state for years. If Will reopens the investigation and implicates the dead police officer with a hero's reputation of wrongdoing, the opportunistic convict is willing to provide the information GBI needs about the riot murder. Only days ago, another young woman was viciously murdered in a state park in northern Georgia. Is it a fluke, or could there be a serial killer on the loose? As Will Trent digs into both crimes it becomes clear that he must solve the cold case in order to find the answer. Yet nearly a decade has passed--time for memories to fade, witnesses to vanish, evidence to disappear, and lies to become truth. But Will can't crack either mystery without the help of the one person he doesn't want involved: his girlfriend and Jeffrey Tolliver's widow, medical examiner Sara Linton. When the past and present begin to collide, Will realizes that everything he values is at stake . . .
