Kisscut (Grant County)
When police chief Jeffrey Tolliver responds to a disturbance at a local  skating rink, the last thing he expects is to have to shoot a 13-year-old girl  who's holding a gun on a fellow student. Then Jenny Deaver's autopsy reveals two  stunning facts: she did not bear the murdered newborn discovered in the rink's  restroom, and she had recently been genitally mutilated. With his ex-wife,  pediatrician Sara Linton, Jeffrey uncovers a child sex and pornography ring  involving Jenny, her classmates, and their mothers--a horrific enterprise that  culminated in the killing that Tolliver will never be able to forget. This taut,  chilling thriller showcases Karin Slaughter's skill at plotting, pace, and  narrative, and will linger in the reader's mind long after the stunning  denouement. This is a terrific sequel to her debut,Blindsighted, with two  protagonists whose complex relationship will no doubt be a featured subplot in  her next offering.--Jane Adams--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
