Nightshade Part 1 - Grant County Series

In the sleepy town of Grant County, a great deal of commotion occurs when a young teacher is raped and murdered. The woman is found by Sara Linton, the local pediatrician and coroner. Together with police commissioner Jeffrey Tolliver, her former great love with whom she is at odds, she tries to solve the mystery of the murder. In the meantime, Lena, the victim's sister, also carries out her own investigation. Then the next victim presents herself. Nachtschade is the first part of the internationally very successful Sara Linton series in which Karin Slaughter combines blood-curdling suspense with lifelike characters.
