With the grit, sex, and suspense of GOLIATH, New York
Times bestselling author Laura Griffin’s DESPERATE GIRLS
is a tightly wound, fast-paced thriller that examines
intricate relationship dynamics in the wake of a killer’s
symbolic revenge spree.
Defense attorney Brynn Holloran is right at home among cops,
criminals, and tough-as-nails prosecutors. With her sharp
wit and pointed words, she has a tendency to intimidate, and
she likes it that way. She’s a force to be reckoned with in
the courtroom, but in her personal life, she’s a mess.
When a vicious murderer she once helped prosecute resurfaces
and starts a killing spree to wipeout those who put him
behind bars, one thing becomes clear: Brynn needs to run for
her life.
With no help from the police, Brynn is forced to take
matters into her own hands, turning to a private security
firm for protection. But when Brynn defies advice and gets
involved in the investigation, even the former Secret
Service agent assigned to protect her may not be able to
keep her safe. With every new clue she discovers, Brynn is
pulled back into the vortex of a disturbing case from her past.
As the clock ticks down on a manhunt, Brynn’s desperate
search for the truth unearths long-buried secrets and
reignites a killer’s fury.
