Fallen – Karin Slaughter

In Fallen, the fifth entry in Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent series and my sixth overall, one of GBI’s own is under attack.  When Faith Mitchell arrives at her mother’s home following a morning training session, she finds intruders in the home and her mother gone.  Her partner, Will Trent, investigates the case, suspecting the disappearance is tied to his investigation of Faith’s mother’s unit years ago, which led to her retirement and the members of her squad going to jail.  Working with his boss, who is also Faith’s mother’s best friend, Will has to stitch the pieces together before the supposed gang war that has surrounded the case takes another victim.

Slaughter fully integrates her two series with this entry, as Sara Linton, from the Grant County series, becomes romantically entangled with Will.  I’ve got two more books to read before I’m back in line with the series’ chronology.  With them sitting on the Kindle, I’m sure I will get to them in due time, as this has quickly become one of my favorite series.
