What really happens in a small town with big secrets? Author Karin Slaughter takes us deep into a thrilling mystery in a virtual discussion about her forthcoming book, The Secrets We Hide.

Join us for a virtual chat with bestselling author Karin Slaughter as we chat about her North Falls series, in which two teenage girls vanish in rural Georgia.

In The Secrets We Hide, Slaughter welcomes readers back to North Falls. A small town with big secrets…

1601 Iris Drive looks like any other house on the quiet, residential street. But rumors are rampant about the Vickery family, and what goes on behind closed doors.

Sheriff Emmy Clifton and ex-federal agent Jude Archer discover a devastating crime scene. Allison Vickery has been murdered in her own kitchen, and her teenage daughter is bleeding upstairs, left for dead.

Everyone thinks they know what happened. But secrets are buried everywhere in this small town.

And it’s up to Emmy Clifton to uncover the truth…
