A Faint Cold Fear
The third pulse-pounding novel in the Grant County series from New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter. Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues -- and the college authorities are eager to avoid a scandal -- but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don’t add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim...

Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember, but when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton -- the town''s pediatrician and medical examiner -- finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy.

The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, detective Lena Adams, still recovering from her sister''s death and her own brutal attack, finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers. But unless Lena, Sara, and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it''s going to happen again...

Au fil du rasoir
Samedi soir, patinoire de Heartsdale. Sara Linton, pédiatre et médecin légiste de Grant County, a rendez-vous avec son ex-mari, Jeffrey Tolliver, chef de la police, pour tenter une réconciliation après les événements traumatiques qu''ils ont vécus. Le souvenir du tueur en série qui a hanté les rues de leur paisible bourgade est encore frais dans les mémoires... Malheureusement, la soirée dont ils avaient rêvé tourne au cauchemar. Jenny Weaver, une adolescente jusqu''ici sans histoire, pointe une arme sur Matt Patterson, un garçon de seize ans. Elle jure que si Jeffrey ne l''abat pas elle, elle fait sauter la tête de Matt. Jeffrey essaie de la calmer, en vain. Paniqué, voulant éviter un carnage, il tire sur la jeune fille et la tue. Mais le pire reste à venir... Sara découvre dans les toilettes le corps mutilé d''un foetus de quelques semaines. L''autopsie des deux cadavres révèle que Jenny ne pouvait être la mère de l''enfant. Et pour cause : elle avait subi d''atroces mutilations sexuelles. Matt Patterson était-il le père ? Le petit ami de Jenny ? Pourquoi voulait-elle l''abattre et pourquoi ce comportement suicidaire ? Jeffrey interroge l''entourage de la jeune fille, mais ne parvient à aucune conclusion tangible. Pour couronner le tout, son adjointe, Lena Adams, se remet mal de l''agression terrible qu''elle a subi, et cette nouvelle affaire semble l''ébranler dangereusement. Elle adopte une promiscuité inquiétante avec Matt Patterson, et met au jour, malgré elle, l''indicible : des parents qui vendent sexuellement leurs enfants... Une fois encore, Karin Slaughter dépeint la noirceur humaine avec un talent incisif et une imagination débordante...

When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisoner''s death. He doesn''t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesn''t understand her role in the death of Grant County''s popular police chief. He doesn''t understand why that man''s widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case. While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when she''s already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Linton''s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliver''s death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets--and encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed. Spellbinding and keenly paced, Broken is Karin Slaughter at her best.
