When Special Agent Will Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a prisonerâs death. He doesnât understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding secrets from him. He doesnât understand her role in the death of Grant Countyâs popular police chief. He doesnât understand why that manâs widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack this case. While the police force investigates the murder of a young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police force, putting pressure on Adams just when sheâs already about to crack. Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to understand Lintonâs passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding Chief Tolliverâs death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent will unleash a case filled with explosive secretsâand encounter a thin blue line that could be murderous if crossed. Spellbinding and keenly paced, Broken is Karin Slaughter at her best. Here is an unforgettable story of raw emotions, dangerous assumptions, the deadly and layered game of betrayal, and a manâs determination to expose the most painful of human truthsâno matter how deeply theyâre hidden . . . or how devastating.
