La nueva y deslumbrante novela de una de las autoras más vendidas del panorama literario internacional: un thriller absorbente que mezcla el suspense psicológico con la investigación de un misterio sin resolver.

Dos niñas son obligadas a internarse en el bosque a punta de pistola. Una huye para salvar su vida. La otra se queda atrás. Hace veintiocho años, un crimen horrendo sacudió la feliz vida familiar de Charlotte y Samantha Quinn. Su madre resultó muerta. Su padre, un conocido abogado defensor de Pikeville, quedó roto de dolor. La familia se deshizo irremediablemente, consumida por los secretos de aquella noche pavorosa.

Transcurridos veintiocho años, Charlie se ha convertido en abogada siguiendo los pasos de su padre. Es la hija ideal. Pero cuando la violencia vuelve a desatarse en Pikeville y una espantosa tragedia azota la localidad, Charlie se ve inmersa en una pesadilla. No solo es la primera persona en llegar a la escena del crimen, sino que el caso desata los recuerdos que ha intentado mantener a raya durante casi tres décadas. Porque la sorprendente verdad sobre el acontecimiento que destruyó su familia no puede permanecer oculta eternamente.

Repleta de giros y vuelcos inesperados y rebosante de emoción, La buena hija es una novela apasionante: suspense en estado puro.

      In the prologue of this gripping standalone from Thriller Award–finalist Slaughter (Pretty Girls), Zach Culpepper and an accomplice break into the Pikeville, Ga., home of attorney Rusty Quinn, who has become an unpopular figure for his advocacy on behalf of “outlaw bikers, drug gangs, and child killers,” as well as abortion clinics and unions. Ironically, Zach is someone Rusty has defended in the past. The thugs gun down Rusty’s wife and brutalize his teen daughters, Charlotte and Samantha. Samantha is shot in the head and buried alive, her fate left uncertain. Flash forward 28 years: Charlotte, now a lawyer, gets caught in a school shooting that claims the lives of the principal and a student. Charlotte spots a teenager wearing goth makeup holding a gun, but she believes something about the crimes doesn’t add up and investigates herself. Meanwhile, the shooting incident revives memories of the trauma that she and her family suffered years before. Slaughter keeps the twists coming, but some plot developments come at the expense of psychological depth. Author tour. Agent: Victoria Sanders, Victoria Sanders & Associates.

      Starred review from June 1, 2017
      Slaughter stays true to form in her third stand-alone thriller (after 2015's Pretty Girls), not pulling any punches when it comes to the sordid things people are capable of inflicting on one another. As teens, sisters Charlie and Sam endured a living nightmare when a local hood, seeking revenge on their lawyer father, murdered their mother before marching the girls into the woods. Sam narrowly escaped being buried alive, while Charlie buried what happened to her deep inside. Nearly 30 years later, both women, now attorneys themselves, are fragile (Charlie, emotionally; Sam, physically) and estranged from one another. When Charlie gets caught in the middle of a school shooting, all hell breaks loose as the past catches up to the present, grim secrets are revealed, and the sisters come together to heal their wounds and their family. It's not hyperbolic to declare that Slaughter is a master of her craft. Her characterseven the secondary onesare deep and multifaceted, and here, the tightly packed story unfolds at a perfect pace that leaves readers frantically turning pages even as the harrowing violence within makes them cringe. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Slaughter routinely hits the best-seller lists and is a favorite of both librarians and patrons. She will disappoint neither with her latest.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
