'Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today, and Cop Town shows the author at the top of her game - relentless pacing, complex characters, and gritty realism, all set against the backdrop of a city on the edge. Slaughter's eye for detail and truth is unmatched . . . I'd follow her anywhere.' Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl Atlanta, 1974. As a brutal killing and a furious manhunt rock the city, Kate Murphy wonders if her first day on the police force will also be her last. For life is anything but easy in the male-dominated world of the Atlanta Police Department, where even the other female cops have little mercy for the new girl. Kate isn't the only woman on the force who is finding things tough. Maggie Lawson followed her uncle and brother into the ranks to prove her worth in their cynical eyes. When Maggie and Kate become partners, and are sidelined in the search for the city's cop killer, their fury, pain, and pride finally reach boiling point. With the killer poised to strike again, will Kate and Maggie have the courage to pursue their own line of investigation? And are they prepared to risk everything as they venture into the city's darkest heart?

Another top-notch thriller from the remarkable Karin Slaughter!
At the racist, bigoted and misogynistic police department in 1974 Atlanta, it's Officer Kate Murphy's first day on the job.
She is teamed-up with 5-year veteran, Officer Maggie Lawson.
Maggie's brother Jimmy, also a cop, almost died the night before when his partner got killed. There is a serial cop killer loose on the streets of Atlanta. Five executed in the last six months.
The whole department is on edge. They're cracking down and busting heads on the entire city. Hauling everyone in. Trying to shake information loose.
Something about Jimmy's story doesn't sit right with Maggie. She, along with Kate, starts looking into the case on her own. Following leads into the seedy world of Atlanta's criminal underground.
Having to work at odds against their sexist male counterparts, especially Maggie's violent Uncle Terry, they push forward.
As clues, secrets, shocks and lies pileup, no one is going to like what they discover.
Then when the inconceivable happens, the case doubles the race-against-time factor in a whirlwind of action and violence all leading to an explosive, shattering conclusion.
This is suspense of the highest caliber. It gets into the all of the character's motivations and has astute insight when it comes to the psychology of "The Shooter". You can feel the city's tension.
We really care about who we're supposed to care about and hope that everyone gets what the deserve.
