Karin Slaughter’s new novel Criminal traverses forty years, two chillingly similar murder cases, and a good man’s deepest secrets. Will Trent is a brilliant agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. When a local college student goes missing, he’s inexplicably kept off the case by his supervisor and mentor, deputy director Amanda Wagner, and the two of them literally collide in an abandoned orphanage their pasts have drawn them to for different reasons. Forty years ago, Amanda Wagner was taking her first steps in the boys’ club of the Atlanta Police Department. Now the case that launched her career has suddenly come back to life, intertwined with the long-held mystery of Will’s birth and parentage. And these two dauntless investigators will each need to face down demons from the past if they are to prevent an even greater terror from being unleashed.
And here’s a deluxe advance eavesdrop, read by Kathleen Early:
Fangoria’s Dreadtime Story “Wolf” by Max Allan Collins takes place at the rustic Wagon Wheel Lodge, where a vicious killer has struck. The police seek a mere man, but Jack Wolff, a handsome charmer spending inherited money to move from one hunting ground to another, has feasted upon the flesh of women for decades. His current prey is a lovely teenage girl with abusive parents. Jack plays the savior though he has something far darker in mind…will the lecherous werewolf strike again with his impunity, or does an unknown adversary wait in the darkness?

I’m a huge fan of Karin Slaughter and I’ve been looking forward to this one. This would be a great introduction to Max Allan Collins, an author I’ve been planning to read for awhile but just haven’t gotten around to yet.
Looking forward to learning more about Will Trent and the relationship he has with his boss Amanda Wagner.
Thanks so very much for the chance!
LOVE Karin Slaughter and can’t wait to see her at Bouchercon in Cleveland this October!
Both authors would be a first for me! Sounds like a deal.
Love Karin and can’t wait to see her at Bouchercon in Cleveland in October.
What a great prize.
Thank you for this chance to win Criminal. I have been a long time Karin slaughter fan and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be fortunate enought to win a copy of Criminal.
Can’t wait for Karin’s latest. Will Trent is such a unique character and his new-found connection with Amanda should be an interesting plot point for us fans to explore. Thanks, Karin!
With a name like Slaughter how much better can it get.
Really enjoy Karin’s books. I have not had the opportunity to read any of Max’s books. Maybe I will be one of the lucky ones and can rectify the situation.
I haven’t read or heard a Karin Slaughter book before, but I’ve read some great reviews.
Great prize! I think the audio version will add lots of drama to the mystery.
I’m so excited for Karin’s new book. Can’t wait for another revel of Will’s past.
What a fantastic opportunity for mystery/crime readers! Thank you.
Both of these sound intriguing and you can never go wrong listening to an audio book.

We love murder mysteries in this household and the prize isn’t bad either.
Thanks for the chance 🙂
I have not read any of Karin’s or Max’s books, but would love to. I am a big mystery fan.

Oh, I love Karin Slaughter! I’m sure an audiobook version is perfect for summer travel.
I’m an audio book fan, have listened/read books by both authors, would love to hear more!
I love Karin Slaughter and audiobooks. What could be better?!
I have several of Max Allan collins’ books, but have yet to read any of Karin Slaughter’s works.
Love audio books! Always keep a few on my ipod.
I average a CD per day on Audio books, just with commute to work and volunteer gig coupled with errands. I have enjoyed a couple of Max Allen Collins novels in that format so far, and was planning to add Ms. Slaughter to the list of authors I’ve “read” by listening to later this year.
Would love to win my own copy!
I enjoy listening to audio books as I travel and this one would be a great one to hear.
I’ve just started to read Karen Slaughter, and I can’t wait for this book to arrive! She’s an exciting writer with great plotting and character development. Max Allan is totally new to me but I’m willing to give him a try!
Karin Slaugher is a favorite in our library and this new book is highly anticipated!!
YAYY!
Since having kids, I’ve discovered the joys of audiobooks. This sounds like a highly entertaining one. Count me in!
I am a reader of both authors and would like to know about audio, the pros and cons.
Wow! What a cool creepy awesome contest!!! I especially would like to listen to “Wolf” by Max Allen…sounds scary…yikes!…plus he’s a new author to me & I’m always looking for different authors to read…or listen to in this case. Slaughter’s books are always great!

Would love to hear this book. Have not read Karin Slaughter, but would love to win so I can become a devout fan.
Honestly don’t know if there is a better name for a thriller writer than Slaughter! Helps that she lives up to her great name,
Max conducted a workshop in Moline that my son attended years ago. That’s when I started reading his stuff. I’ve never been disappointed and my son still writes for fun.
These are new books for me but I enjoy audio. Thanks for the giveaway
Looking forward to more backstory on Amanda. The previous book whetted my appetite!
Have loved Karin Slaughter since my son gave me her first Grant County book “Blindsighted” for Christmas oh so many years ago. Have not listened to an audio book or read a Max Allen Collins book so it would be great to win an audio book by an old favorite and be introduced to a new author.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
This book sounds intriguing.
Would love a chance to win a copy to listen to of this book
Thanks Cheryl
