Book Description:
The internationally bestselling author "squarely in the ranks of Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs" (Publishers Weekly) shows off her superb talent with this brilliantly conceived, skillfully executed tale of suspense.

In Karin Slaughter's exciting new thriller, an officer is shot point-blank in the Grant County police station and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver is wounded, setting off a terrifying hostage situation with medical examiner Sara Linton at the center. Working outside the station, Lena Adams, newly reinstated to the force, and Frank Wallace, Jeffrey's second in command, must try to piece together who the shooter is and how to rescue their friends before Jeffrey dies. For the sins of the past have caught up with Sara and Jeffrey -- with a vengeance ...

Deftly interweaving present and past, Slaughter -- dubbed "the new face of crime" by Book magazine -- offers another brilliant knife-edge tale of suspense that cements her place among the most outstanding practitioners of crime fiction today.

I just love this series. I am so glad that she went into more depth about Jeffery and Sara and the beginning of it all. It definately sheds some light on the other books. I would recommend this book to anyone, but I think you need to read it in order

This book is the fourth of the Grant County series, and I really feel they should be read in order. This one is different from the others, however, in that the story is split between a time early in Sara and Jeffrey's relationship and the present. A pair of young armed gunmen take over the police station, killing or injuring most of the officers. Were they looking for Jeffrey, and if so why? The characterizations remain true and the story riveting. I've enjoyed all four Grant County stories by Slaughter.

This was my favorite book of the series! I liked learning about Sara and Jeffery's history and having two mysteries was interesting.

A complicated structure that flashes forward and backward in time keeps this hostage-situation thriller from resolving too quickly.

This is the best book in the Grand County series so far. There is a hostage situation in the present, and flashbacks to Sara and Jeffrey's relationship in the past. It kind of feels like an episode of LOST! Good suspense throughout the book. I highly recommend this book but you should read the series in order.

Two armed men enter the police station in tiny Heartsdale, Georgia, and open fire. When the shooting stops, an officer is dead, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver is seriously wounded, and the survivors - including a class of grade-school children and medical examiner Sara Linton - are held hostage. In a tense standoff that could erupt at any moment into more bloodletting - with her ex-husband on the threshold of death - Sara must search for answers and an escape in the memories of a time at the start of their relationship when another brutal, shocking crime shattered their small-town world. Because the sins of the past have caught up with Sara and Jeffrey...with a vengeance.
