Broken

In the gripping and relentless thriller "Broken," Karin Slaughter plunges readers back into the dark world of Grant County, where medical examiner Sara Linton and Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Will Trent face their most personal and disturbing case yet. When a young woman is found brutally murdered on a rural Georgia shore, all signs point to a local ex-con, who then inexplicably dies in his holding cell, seemingly by suicide. The town, accustomed to tragedy but still reeling from past traumas, is quickly thrown into a maelstrom of suspicion and secrets. As Sara and Will delve deeper, they uncover layers of small-town corruption, long-buried grievances, and a shocking conspiracy that touches the very heart of the community. With the lines between justice and revenge blurring, and their own pasts haunting their every move, Sara and Will must navigate a treacherous path to unearth the truth, even if it means confronting the horrifying possibility that the monsters they seek might be closer than they ever imagined.
