Dr. Sara Linton has left Grant County behind. She is working at an Atlanta Hospital's trauma center when a woman is brought in. She was hit by a car, but it is apparent she has also been tortured and starved. Special Agents Will Trent and Faith Mitchell start an investigation. Will soon finds an underground torture chamber and another victim. When another woman is kidnapped in broad daylight, Will and Faith race against time to find a vicious killer.

In this book, Karin Slaughter has merged her Grant County and Atlanta series together. Since I wasn't happy with the ending of the Grant County series, I was happy to see the continuation of Sara Linton's character. Slaughter specialty is drawing complex characters with multiple layers which makes them believable. Even the victims in this book are well drawn but not particularly likeable. The mystery and suspense in the story are good, but I thought the middle of the book dragged a bit. My rating: 4 Stars.
