Girl, Forgotten: The gripping new latest 2022 crime suspense thriller from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

Her first assignment seems straightforward enough : to protect a judge who is receiving death threats. Her Will Trent series, Grant County series, and standalone novel Cop Town are all in development for film and television. This includes Emily embarking on a Columbo like investigation of the night of which she has no memory, in which she was given an acid tab and left to handle the devastating life altering repercussions, with no idea of how she got pregnant or by whom. Set in the fictional town of Longbill Beach, Maryland, the book begins on April 17, 1982, where the 17-year-old and pregnant Emily Vaughn is getting ready to attend her senior year high school prom.

She would never even see her eighteenth birthday because by the end of prom night, Emily would be dead. Slaughter doesn't save her twists for the end, instead peppering them throughout the intricately layered story amid stomach-churning near misses and gripping character revelations.The core structure is essentially that of a procedural (it cannot really be referred to as a "police procedural", because the investigating officers are US Marshals rather than police officers).

But in practice there’s an obvious drawback; Laura Oliver’s role has been massively reduced in this sequel.Misogyny is rife in Longbill Beach adding to the many obstacles in Andrea’s way but she is wiser in this book and handles herself much better. Probably because we hear about crooked politicians every day on the news, so nothing shocks me anymore. Andrea is partnered with an older Marshall, Leonard ‘Catfish’ Bible, who delights in educating his new green partner.
