With its gracious
homes and tree-lined streets, Ansley Park is one of
Atlanta’s most desirable neighborhoods. But in one
gleaming mansion, in a teenager’s lavish bedroom, a girl
has been savagely murdered. And in the hallway, her
horrified mother stands amid shattered glass, having
killed her daughter’s attacker with her bare hands.
Detective Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of
Investigation is here only to do a political favor; the
murder site belongs to the Atlanta police. But Trent soon
sees something that the cops are missing, something in the
trail of blood, in a matrix of forensic evidence, and in
the eyes of the shell-shocked mother. Within minutes,
Trent is taking over the case—and adding another one to
it. He is sure that another teenage girl is missing, and
that a killer is on the loose.
Armed with only
fleeting clues, teamed with a female cop who has her own
personal reasons for hating him, Trent has enemies all
around him—and a gnawing feeling that this case, which
started in the best of homes, is cutting quick and deep
through the ruins of perfect lives broken wide-open: where
human demons emerge with a vengeance.
