Kisscut

A Chilling And Powerful Tale Of Small-Town Evil From The Critically Acclaimed, New York Times Bestselling Author Of Blindsighted. Sara Linton, pediatrician and medical examiner in Heartsdale, Georgia, knows only too well the horrors that can hide behind closed doors in a small community. But when a Saturday night argument between teenagers at the local skating rink leads to death-and a subsequent autopsy reveals evidence of ritualistic self-mutilation and long-term abuse-she realizes that true evil is closer than she imagined. Joining with her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, and Detective Lena Adams, still traumatized by her brush with a maniac, in an investigation that is frustrated at every turn-by the cold silence of the families and the children surrounding the slain girl-Sara begins to peel back the many layers of an inhuman outrage that goes far beyond mere murder. For an ominous cloud has settled over the young daughters and sons of Heartsdale-and those who would protect them must act quickly before all innocence here is devoured.Slaughter, Karin is the author of 'Kisscut ' with ISBN 9780060534042 and ISBN 0060534044.
