Pretty Girls

From the critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a stand-alone novel about family and belonging, justice and retribution, the decisions we make—and the choices that haunt us. Sisters Rae and Sam grew up in the long shadow of their father, a lawyer who devoted himself to defending the helpless and underserved. While for Sam adult life has meant honoring his legacy—working in his law firm and staying in their small, sleepy town—Rae is estranged from her family, with a high-flying, well-paid corporate law career in Atlanta. But when Rae sees an unsettling, explosive video of one of her hedge fund clients, she suddenly becomes a target for corrupt and sinister forces. Panicked, she retreats to the home shed left behind … but someone is watching, and now Rae and Sam are both within his sights. In this gripping thriller—and keenly observant look at the bonds we test, sever, and rebuild—Karin Slaughter has created a masterpiece, another critical piece of evidence in the case for her as one of our most talented, powerful writers.
