The sixth Grant County novel, from the No. 1 Bestseller.
Lena Adams has spent her life struggling to forget her childhood in Reece, the small town which nearly destroyed her. She's made a new life for herself as a police detective in Heartsdale, a hundred miles away - but nothing could prepare her for the violence which explodes when she is forced to return. A vicious murder leaves a young woman incinerated beyond recognition. And Lena is the only suspect.
When Heartsdale police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, Lena's boss, receives word that his detective has been arrested, he has no choice but to go to Lena's aid - taking with him his wife, medical examiner Sara Linton. But soon after their arrival, a second victim is found. The town closes ranks. And both Jeffrey and Sara find themselves entangled in a horrifying underground world of bigotry and rage - a violent world which shocks even them. But can they discover the truth before the killer strikes again?

Reviews
The best thing in Skin Privilege is the picture of a town rigidly straight jacketed in its intolerance and bigotry. This is always a sure-fire recipe for crime thrillers - put your humanitarian, justice-minded coppers up against a community seething with hostility. It's not a new device but Slaughter knows how to ring the changes
If Gillian Flynn is an excellent debutante in that category of crime fiction, Karin Slaughter is the high mistress. No one does American small-town evil more chillingly ... Slaughter tells a dark story that grips and doesn't let go Slaughter knows exactly when to ratchet up the menace, and when to loiter on the more personal and emotional aspects of the victims. Thoroughly gripping, yet thoroughly gruesome stuff It's beautifully paced, appropriately grisly, and terrifyingly plausible. Who says there's anything peaceful and quiet about small-town America On the strength of books that are relentlessly frightening, melodramatic and disgusting, she has become a mega-seller Karin Slaughter's latest is bloody excellent.If forensic crime thrillers are your cup of tea, you'll be hard pressed to find better to take your jollies Expand reviews
