A Faint Cold Fear

Gillian Flynn says, amp;#34;Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today.amp;#34;

An apparent student suicide has brought medical examiner Sara Linton to the local college campus, along with her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver. But a horribly mutilated corpse yields up few answers. And a suspicious rash of subsequent amp;#34;suicidesamp;#34; suggests that a different kind of terror is stalking the youth of Heartsdale, Georgiaamp;#8212;a nightmare that is coming to prey on Sara Lintonamp;#39;s loved ones.

A small town is being transformed into a killing ground. And the key to a sadistic murdereramp;#39;s motive and identity may be held in the unsteady hands of a campus security guardamp;#8212;a former police detective driven from the force by the hellish memories that will never leave her. Lena Adams survived the unthinkable and has paid a devastating price. Now the survival of future victims may depend upon her ... when she can barely protect herself.
