E-grāmata: Silent Wife: A Novel

New York Times Bestseller

The bestselling author of Pieces of Her returns with the next novel in the Will Trent series that &;comes with just the right amount of twists, turns, shocks, surprises and domestic thrill and shrill&; (Parade).

He watches. He waits. He takes. Who will be next . . .

Investigating 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 . . .
