Atlanta series

In 2009, Slaughter brought together characters from her two main series in her novel Undone, called Genesis internationally. Will Trent and other characters from that series work a case set in Atlanta with Sara Linton, of Grant County. Also intertwining the characters Will Trent and Sara Linton from her two series is her latest book, called "Broken", published in 2010. It is set in the fictitious Grant County.

Grant County series

Slaughter is best known for her Grant County series:

• Blindsighted, 2001
• Kisscut, 2002
• A Faint Cold Fear, 2003
• Indelible, 2004
• Faithless, 2005
• Beyond Reach/Skin Privilege, 2007.

Set in the fictional town of Heartsdale, Georgia, (in the fictional Grant County) the narrative takes place from the perspective of three main characters: Sara Linton, the town's pediatrician and part-time coroner; her ex-husband to whom she is remarried, Jeffrey Tolliver, who is chief of police; and his subordinate, detective Lena Adams, Slaughter's most controversial character. The most recent Grant County novel was published in July 2007. The title was Beyond Reach in the US and Skin Privilege elsewhere.

Will Trent series

The Will Trent series, which takes place in Atlanta, features special Agent Will Trent with the GBI and his partner Faith Mitchell.  So far, Will has appeared in Triptych, Fractured and Undone.  Undone (called Genesis in the UK and elsewhere) brings together characters from the Grant County series with the Will Trent series.
