Grant County Series (Book 1-5) by Karin Slaughter 5 Books Collection Set - Fiction - Paperback

The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds a woman dead in the local diner.

She has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear.

Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that the murder wasn't a one-off attack. What they're dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer...

Kisscut (Book 2) When a teenage quarrel in the small town of Heartsdale explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - paediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a horrific tragedy. What seems at first to be an individual catastrophe has wider implications when the autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse and ritualistic self-mutilation.

Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, but the children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it soon becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime.

And unless Sara and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it is going to happen again.

A Faint Cold Fear (Book 3) A suicide on a college campus. A tragic case with a simple resolution.

But for medical examiner Sara Linton, it just does not add up. When two more suspicious deaths follow and a young woman is brutally attacked, it soon becomes clear that she is looking for a murderer.

The college authorities are reluctant to cooperate and Sara isn't any closer to finding the answers she needs.

With the violence triggering memories of a past she would rather forget and the clues pointing ever closer to home, can she uncover the truth in time to save the next victim?

Indelible (Book 4) Two armed men enter the police station in tiny Heartsdale, Georgia, and open fire. When the shooting stops, an officer is dead, Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver is seriously wounded, and the survivors—including a class of grade-school children and medical examiner Sara Linton—are held hostage.

In a tense standoff that could erupt at any moment into more bloodletting— and with her ex-husband on the threshold of death—Sara must search for answers and an escape in the memories of a time at the start of their relationship when another brutal, shocking crime shattered their small-town world.

Because the sins of the past have caught up with Sara and Jeffrey. . .with a vengeance.

Faithless (Book 5) Deep in the Georgia woods, Dr Sara Linton and Police Chief Jeffrey Tolliver stumble across the body of a young girl. Initial evidence suggests that she was buried alive and, quite literally, scared to death.

Troubled by their own turbulent past, Sara and Jeffrey must work together to identify the killer and prevent another death.
