The Silent Wife

A Novel

GBI investigator Will Trent investigates a prisoner killed during a riot in a Georgia penitentiary. An inmate claims he was wrongly convicted of a brutal assault eight years earlier and says corrupt police, led by Jeffrey Tolliver, framed him. He offers information about the riot murder if Will reopens the old case. As Will and medical examiner Sara Linton investigate, they uncover evidence of a serial predator still active across Georgia.
