Fall

In Fallen , another gripping thriller from bestselling author Karin Slaughter, Faith Mitchell must deal with her mother's disappearance. To unravel a web of mysteries surrounding her past, she will enlist the help of Will Trent and Sara Linton.

Officer Faith Mitchell is late picking up her daughter. Her mother isn't answering her phone. Evelyn Mitchell, a retired Atlanta police captain, never leaves without telling someone where she's going, especially when she's with her granddaughter. Faith's concern only grows when she arrives at her mother's house.

Evelyn's door is open and bears a bloody handprint. Emma, her baby, is outside, locked in the tool room. Everything Faith Mitchell learned at the Police Academy goes up in smoke when she enters the house with her gun drawn. She finds a body in the laundry room and a man holding another hostage in the bedroom, but there's no sign of her mother...

To discover Evelyn Mitchell's whereabouts, Faith will need the help of her partner, Will Trent, and trauma doctor Sara Linton. Suspicions point to both drug dealers and corrupt officers from Evelyn's former squad, but some pieces don't add up. Faith is forced to confront past traumas to uncover the truth about her mother before it's too late.
