Bestselling author Karin Slaughter’s latest novel, featuring recurring protagonist Will Trent, is gripping as ever. Detective Trent’s latest case has him going undercover as he tries to put a drug-dealing rapist behind bars. Unbeknownst to him, nemesis cop Lena Adams is working on the same case — and things begin to spin out of control. The dark and sordid world that Slaughter creates is brimming with violence and vindictiveness in this masterful thriller. One thing’s clear: the hero who saves lives can just as easily be the villain who takes them.
Unseen, Karin Slaughter, $27. Available on Indigo.ca and Amazon.ca.
