About the event

Karin Slaughter, one of the world's most popular and acclaimed storytellers, visits Main Library to dive into the dark, twisty world of her newest novel. Known for her "unputdownable" crime fiction and the hit Will Trent series, Slaughter returns with a standalone masterpiece that explores the devastating consequences of long-buried family secrets and the lengths we go to keep them hidden.

About the book

In The Secrets We Hide, a cold case is reignited when a shocking discovery is made in a small, tight-knit town. As the layers of a perfect family facade begin to peel away, the truth proves to be more dangerous than anyone imagined. With her signature suspense and visceral emotional depth, Slaughter delivers a high-stakes thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.
