Decades after a shattering attack on her family that left her mother dead and her sister traumatised, New York lawyer Charlotte Quinn returns to her hometown of Pikeville to confront her past demons and reconnect with her father, Rusty.She is quickly plunged into a nightmare as she is called upon to defend goth girl Kelly Wilson, who freely admits to the murder of her principal and a fellow student in a brutal shooting at the local Pikeville high school. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it's a case which can't help triggering the terrible memories she's spent so long trying to suppress. The unravelling mystery of this disturbing, suspenseful and moving novel is fiction at its most thrilling, and will keep you turning pages until the end.
This dramatic international bestseller delves into intimate and brutal places, but keeps the pace up and the suspense high. Complicated family dynamics run at the core of the story, and compliment the thrilling highs with introspective, sombre lows. Author Karin Slaughter is a modern mistress of crime-- you can pick this title up at Central Coast Library!
