Kisscut
Sara Linton, her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, and detective Lena Adams are caught in an evil web involving a young girl who commits suicide by forcing a cop to shoot her. Shouldering the political aftermath, Jeffrey struggles to understand the victim’s desperation. So does Sara, the girl’s pediatrician and now her coroner, who soon discovers that the suicide was linked to a brutal crime—one far more terrifying than anyone could have imagined. Yet neither Jeffrey nor Sara know that their colleague, Lena, may unwittingly harbor the truth as she finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers—and Lena’s future—in his hands.

Karin Slaughter
Crime is never black and white in Karin Slaughter’s world—it’s raw, relentless, and deeply personal. With a scalpel-sharp precision that has become her signature, Slaughter dissects the darkest corners of human nature, crafting thrillers that are as psychologically rich as they are unflinchingly brutal. Her stories don’t just unfold; they unravel, layer by layer, exposing the complexity of justice, trauma, and survival.
Born in Georgia, Slaughter grew up surrounded by Southern storytelling, a tradition that infused her work with a deep sense of place and history. She credits her early fascination with crime to a childhood spent in the shadow of real-life violence. The South, with its haunting past and tangled moral codes, became the perfect backdrop for her novels—where the sins of the past bleed into the present and justice is rarely simple.
