Genesis

A hunt for a sick mind that is about to unleash all the cruelty that human nature is capable of.

When a patient arrives at Grady Hospital's emergency room seriously injured, Dr. Sara Linton encounters a world of violence and terror. The woman was hit by a car, but completely naked, with torture marks all over her body, she appears to have been the victim of a deeply disturbed mind.

The police begin their investigation, but Detective Will Trent isn't satisfied. He soon discovers an underground chamber that hides a macabre revelation: the woman admitted to the hospital wasn't this sadist's only victim. With the help of Dr. Linton, Will and his partner, Faith Mitchell, dive into the hunt for the killer.

When another woman disappears without a trace, the truth hits them like a brutal blow: the killer's hideout has been discovered, but he's still at it. Now the three of them are the only thing standing between a madman and his next victim.

Genesis , a masterpiece of crime fiction, is where Karin Slaughter brings together for the first time the three protagonists of her series in a single story - a race against time and a duel against indescribable human cruelty.
