With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex- cop.
Studying the body, Sara Lintonβthe GBIβs newest medical examiner and Willβs loverβrealizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victimβa womanβwho has vanished . . . and who will die soon if she isnβt found.
Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the cityβs most popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete protected by the worldβs most expensive lawyersβa man whoβs already gotten away with rape, despite Willβs exhaustive efforts to put him away.
But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Willβs troubled past to the case . . . and the consequences will tear through his life with the force of a tornado, wreaking havoc for Will and everyone around him, including his colleagues, family, friendsβand even the suspects he pursues.
Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, peopled with conflicted, fallible characters who leap from the page, The Kept Woman is a seamless blend of twisty police procedural and ingenious psychological thriller -- a searing, unforgettable novel of love, loss, and redemption.
