When the naked young woman ran from the bush into the path of a car, the driver and his wife were shattered. When she was taken to hospital, the extent of her injuries showed she'd been tortured, beaten and raped. Searching the area saw Special Agent Will Trent stumble across the cave the perpetrator had kept his victims in - and with evidence of another woman, their search deepened. Will and his partner, Agent Faith Mitchell, dug deeply to find details, evidence, but they kept hitting a brick wall. Their boss, Amanda Wagner, kept things going, while Dr Sara Linton of Atlanta's Grady Hospital worked with them, as the first victim was her patient.

Would they find the psychopathic killer, the madman intent on his sadistic ways before more women died?

Genesis is #3 in the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Will, Faith and Sara are great characters - all with their issues and flaws. And I love the tough, never give an inch, Amanda Wagner! She's a no holds barred cop! I'm loving this series more than the author's Grant County series which is before this one, and I think it's because the brutality isn't as much "in your face" in this one. Anyway, I'm looking forward to #4 soon. Recommended.
