Reading - Genesis

Genesis by Karin Slaughter

Three and a half years ago former Grant County medical examiner Sara Linton moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her tragic past behind her.  Now working as a doctor in Atlanta's Grady Hospital she is starting to piece her life together.  But when a severely wounded young woman is brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a world of violence and terror.  The woman has been hit by a car but, naked and brutalised, it's clear that she has been the prey of a twisted mind.

When Special Agent Will Trent of the Criminal Investigation Team returns to the scene of the accident, he stumbles on a torture chamber buried deep beneath the earth.  And this hidden house of horror reveals a ghastly truth - Sare's patient is just the first victim of a sick, sadistic killer.  Wrestling the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner Faith Mitchell find themselves at the centre of a grisly muder hunt.  And Sara, Will and Faith - each with their own wounds and their own secrets - are all that stand between a madman and his next crime.
