The fifth book in Karin Slaughter's #1 bestselling GRANT COUNTY series.
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.
The trail will soon lead to the neighbouring county, an isolated community, and a terrible secret...

Brutal and chilling
—— Daily MirrorSlaughter has the money-shot gore but her most visceral writing is when she is simply ratcheting up the suspense ... Great cliffhanger ending too
—— ObserverFaithless confirms her at the summit of the school of writers specialising in forensic medicine and terror ... Slaughter's characters talk in believable dialogue.
