In 1974, Kate Murphy finds herself way out of her depth as a rookie Atlanta cop. Raised on the wealthy side of town, she's been given a uniform that's too large and teamed with blue-collar Maggie Lawson. Neither woman gets any respect -- not even Maggie, whose brother and uncle are cops -- but they soon join forces to investigate unofficially when no one else will listen to their ideas about the serial killer who's been targeting police officers. This compelling stand-alone novel by veteran author Karin Slaughter provides a fascinating glimpse at the 1970s, especially when it comes to addressing sexism and racism.
