The fourth book in the Grant County series from Karin Slaughter, the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her.
“[A] page-turner . . . Slaughter’s plot has more twists than a Slinky factory and the characters’ relationships are sharply drawn.”—People, starred review
“Scary, shocking and perfectly suspenseful.”—BookPage
Two armed men enter the police station in tiny Heartsdale, Georgia, and open fire. When the shooting stops, an officer is dead, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver is seriously wounded, and the survivors—including a class of grade-school children and medical examiner Sara Linton—are held hostage. In a tense standoff that could erupt at any moment into more bloodletting—with her ex-husband on the threshold of death—Sara must search for answers and an escape in the memories of a time at the start of their relationship when another brutal, shocking crime shattered their small-town world. Because the sins of the past have caught up with Sara and Jeffrey… with a vengeance.

Oversized, outrageous Mary Alice and her prim sister Patricia Anne have been looking forward to the gala benefit being staged to raise money for the restoration of Vulcan, Birmingham’s ever-tarnishing unnatural wonder. And what a show it is, with a grand finale that has thirty sequined Elvis impersonators high-kicking in unison! From the front row, “Mouse” and “Sister” have a perfect view of the action when one of the dancing Kings keels over dead into the bandstand. This Elvis clone has not only left the building … he’s left this life, courtesy of a switchblade knife in the back. And when the murder weapon turns up in Patricia Anne’s very sensible purse, the perennially law-abiding “Mouse” is understandably all shook up. Suspicious minds have her pegged as the prime suspect in this bizarre case of Elvis elimination. And if she doesn’t do some serious sleuthing, she could end up doing the Jailhouse Rock!

He saw what you did. He knows who you are…
From the New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her and The Silent Wife, an electrifying standalone thriller.
AN ORDINARY LIFE…
Leigh Collier has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She’s an up-and-coming defense attorney at a prestigious law firm in Atlanta, would do anything for her sixteen-year-old daughter Maddy, and is managing to successfully coparent through a pandemic after an amicable separation from her husband Walter.
HIDES A DEVASTATING PAST…
But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood no one should have to endure … a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and ultimately destroyed by a brutal act of violence.
BUT NOW THE PAST IS CATCHING UP…
On a Sunday night at her daughter’s school play, she gets a call from one of the firm’s partners who wants Leigh to come on board to defend a wealthy man accused of multiple counts of rape. Though wary of the case, it becomes apparent she doesn’t have much choice if she wants to keep her job. They’re scheduled to go to trial in one week. When she meets the accused face-to-face, she realizes that it’s no coincidence that he’s specifically asked for her to represent him. She knows him. And he knows her. More to the point, he may know what happened over twenty years ago, and why Leigh has spent two decades avoiding her past.
AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT.
Suddenly she has a lot more to lose than this case. The only person who can help is her younger, estranged sister Callie—the last person Leigh would ever want to drag into this after all they’ve been through. But with the life-shattering truth in danger of being revealed, she has no choice…
“A high-stakes thriller . . . Her heroines are believable, flawed and courageous.” –OYINKAN BRAITHWAITE

Winner of the 2025 MAXY Award for science fiction!
“War was uglier than we’d imagined. The Draft was reinstated, taking our men and boys. Troops stripped the shelves as they came through. Within days, stores were empty; people began to starve. Hospitals closed due to a lack of staff and supplies. Police stopped answering calls, stopped coming to work at all. Production halted. Communications faded. Then the power went off…and it didn’t come back on.
“The fall of society triggered a hard, new life where survival became our only focus. We reverted to primitive behaviors, using the war as an excuse to commit unspeakable atrocities and humanity slipped deeper into the abyss of possible extinction. Lawlessness blanketed the post-apocalyptic lands with hatred and violence that seemed to have no end. The future, cold and dark, offered little comfort. The only chance we had for peace, for safety, came from a tired voice on the radio.”
“This is Safe Haven. We offer food, shelter, and protection to all survivors. Does anyone copy? …hello? Is anyone alive out there?”
“Answering that call was a dangerous risk in a world now filled with nightmares, but it was better than having no hope at all. We left our dens and our dregs and followed Safe Haven, but not everyone made it there. Some of those who did were too far gone to be trusted. The apocalypse left its mark on all of us and Safe Haven wasn’t immune to that. It was a place of safety, of light, of duty and honor. It was a refuge for all survivors. It was also a place of death and darkness, where murder and madness walked hand-in-hand.”
Life After War. A story that will live in your mind forever.

Most witches don’t work for police departments, but Michelle isn’t your average witch. She’s clanless, looking for a warlock who isn’t offended by her lack of family connections, and in danger of losing her job if she can’t find the escaped trolls before they start eating the local residents.
Trolls, angry police, and misbehaving spells are the least of her problems. Statues attacking homeowners might be problematic for your average witch, but to Michelle it’s another day at the office. Her real concern is the wizard suddenly interested in dating her and an old elf set on pestering her. When her happy family is rocked by a long kept secret her stable life falls apart faster than she can pick up the pieces.
And she still hasn’t found those trolls.
