Criminal

In this Atlanta-set crime thriller, Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent Will Trent is excluded from the search for a missing college student by his mentor, Amanda Wagner. Their investigation leads them to an abandoned orphanage connected to Will's childhood and family history. The narrative also moves back to 1974, following Amanda's early police work on a brutal case that becomes entwined with the mystery of Will's birth and parentage.
