NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"It's Slaughter's prodigious gifts of characterization that make her stand out among thriller writers." -- Washington Post

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pieces of Her, comes an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshal Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father's past.

A small town hides a big secret...

Who killed Emily Vaughn?

A girl with a secret...

Longbill Beach, 1982. Emily Vaughn gets ready for the prom. For an athlete, who is smart, pretty and well-liked, this night should be the highlight of her high school career. But Emily has a secret. And by the end of the evening, that secret will be silenced forever.

An unsolved murder...

Forty years later, Emily's murder remains a mystery. Her tight-knit group of friends closed ranks; her respected, wealthy family retreated inwards; the small town moved on from her grisly attack. But all that's about to change.

One final chance to uncover a killer...

US Marshal Andrea Oliver arrives in Longbill Beach on her first assignment: to protect a judge receiving death threats. But, in reality, Andrea is there to find justice for Emily. The killer is still out there--and Andrea must discover the truth before she gets silenced, too...

Customer Reviews

This is my first Karin Slaughter book

Girl, forgotten is heartbreaking, devastating, and absolutely well-written. I was sucked into every page, cried so much, and couldn’t put it down. This book definitely stuck with me. I hope the author writes a sequel to this. I’m definitely going to check out more of her books.
