Thereβs no police training stronger than a copβs instinct. Faith Mitchellβs mother isnβt answering her phone. Her front door is open. Thereβs 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 motherβs house, gun drawn. She sees a man dead in the laundry room. She sees a hostage situation in the bedroom. What she doesnβt see is her mother. . . .
βYou know what weβre here for. Hand it over, and weβll let her go.β
When the hostage situation turns deadly, Faith is left with too many questions, not enough answers. To find her mother, sheβll need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and theyβll both need the help of trauma doctor Sara Linton. But Faith isnβt just a cop anymoreβsheβs a witness. Sheβs 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 lightβor bury it forever.
Karin Slaughterβs 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.
