SUMMARY
Atlanta, 1974: As a brutal murder and a furious
manhunt rock the city’s police department, Kate Murphy wonders if her first day
on the job will also be her last. She’s determined to defy her privileged
background by making her own way—wearing a badge and carrying a gun. But for a
beautiful young woman, life will be anything but easy in the macho world of the
Atlanta PD, where even the female cops have little mercy for rookies. It’s also
the worst day possible to start given that a beloved cop has been gunned down,
his brothers in blue are out for blood, and the city is on the edge of war.
Kate isn’t the only woman on the force who’s feeling the heat. Maggie Lawson followed her uncle and brother into the ranks to prove her worth in their cynical eyes. When she and Kate, her new partner, are pushed out of the citywide search for a cop killer, their fury, pain, and pride finally reach the boiling point. With a killer poised to strike again, they will pursue their own line of investigation, risking everything as they venture into the city’s darkest heart.
Relentlessly paced, acutely observed, wickedly funny, and often heartbreaking, Cop Town is Karin Slaughter’s most powerful novel yet—a tour de force of storytelling from our foremost master of character, atmosphere, and suspense.

SUMMARY
Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only
thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of
Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what
he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found
in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has
sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same
place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his
own toughest enemy.
While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?
