This is Slaughter's best book to date, and readers unfamiliar with her work will find this one a perfect place to begin." - Associated Press " The first 16 pages of Karin Slaughter's new novel are a master class in suspense …. Fallen , Slaughter's 11th novel in 11 years, shows again that she is in the first rank of today's crime novelists . Her story is expertly written, exhaustively researched, steeped in police lore, deeply rooted in the author's native Georgia and exceedingly violent. Slaughter has a rare ability to balance violence with a compassionate view of her complex and all-too-human characters. She's a supremely tough-minded novelist who often writes with exceptional sensitivity….. Fallen is a complex, gripping and deadly serious novel that reflects anew Slaughter's abundant talent.

SynopsisThere's no police training stronger than a cop's instinct. Faith Mitchell's mother isn't answering her phone. Her front door is open. There's a bloodstain above the knob. Her infant daughter is hidden in a shed behind the house. All that the Georgia Bureau of Investigations taught Faith Mitchell goes out the window when she charges into her mother's house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesn't see is her mother. . . .   "You know what we're here for. Hand it over, and we'll let her go."   When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions, not enough answers. To find her mother, she'll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and they'll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isn't just a cop anymore--she's a witness. She's also a suspect.   The thin blue line hides police corruption, bribery, even murder. Faith will have to go up against the people she respects the most in order to find her mother and bring the truth to light--or bury it forever.  Karin Slaughter's most exhilarating novel yet is a thrilling journey through the heart and soul, where the personal and the criminal collide, and conflicted loyalties threaten to destroy reputations and ruin lives. It is the work of a master of the thriller at the top of her game, and a whirlwind of unrelenting suspense.

  • Great story

    As usual Karin Slaughter's "Fallen" is a book I could not put down. Her characters are so real and so...beautifully damaged in their own way. You can't help but order the next and the next to find out what's in store for Will Trent and the rest of the characters. Fantastic writing.

  • Fast paced and well-written

    This is a Will Trent novel, and that's all that needs to be said. We all know Will be be OK in the end, but we have no idea as to how it will be accomplished. Unexpected snags are everywhere.
