      Bestseller Slaughter departs from her Grant County crime series (Faithless
      , etc.) with a stand-alone thriller notable mainly for a jolting mid-book twist similar to one Ira Levin used with more subtlety in A Kiss Before Dying
      . The case of a prostitute's brutal murder provides a welcome break for Michael Ormewood, a cynical, world-weary Atlanta cop weighed down by dealing with the city's underclass and the heartbreak of a mentally impaired son. Since the victim's tongue was severed, linking the crime to several other recent outrages, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation intervenes. Suspicions focus on a recently paroled sex offender, John Shelley, who viciously butchered a neighbor more than a decade earlier. Slaughter unexpectedly switches the narrative's perspective, but the shock value garnered by the plot twist isn't matched by the predictable denouement.

      Slaughter, who is also the author of the Grant County series, entices us into entering the secret world of a vicious killer who bites the tongues off his victims. The main characters, a down-on-his-luck detective, a female vice cop who was once his lover, an agent from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and a sex offender con man, are, for the most part, abused, flawed, and difficult to like. But Brian Keith Lewis's solid, workmanlike narration pulls us inside their minds so that we can fathom their motives. To his great credit, Lewis doesn't tip off listeners before the shocking plot twist that exposes the killer. A grisly thriller for those who love stories with gore. M.T.B.
