The Skimm Reads calls it "a thriller that's part True Detective, part TheGirl On The Train. All parts gripping."
Husbands and wives. Mothers and daughters. The past and the future.
Secrets bind them. And secrets can destroy them.
The author of Pretty Girls returns with an electrifying, emotionally complex thriller that plunges its fascinating protagonist into the darkest depths of a mystery that just might destroy him.
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 Lintonโthe GBIโs newest medical examiner and Willโs loverโrealizes that the extensive blood loss didn't belong to the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victimโa womanโwho has vanished . . . and who will die soon if she isnโt found.
Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the cityโs most popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete protected by the worldโs most expensive lawyersโa man whoโs already gotten away with rape, despite Willโs exhaustive efforts to put him away.
But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Willโs 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, friendsโand 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.
