THE FIX-IT MAN

John Faron is a natural-born tinkerer who can apparently fix anything.
But when he's forced by the actions of a madman to make an unthinkable choice,
he soon finds that the one thing he can't mend, is his own broken heart.

Sixteen year old Johnny has a dream. He wants to build an engine that can get a hundred miles to the gallon.
While working in his grandfather's fix-it shop, he meets Felicia Delgado, and the young girl steals his heart.
Meanwhile, there's a killer hunting down young women and getting away with murder.
Years later, when circumstances conspire to tear Johnny and Felicia apart, John is rescued from heartache by a new love.
With his dream in sight and his new love at his side, John is ready to put the past behind him and marry.
However, the killer now has him in his sights and seeks revenge against John for exposing him to the police.
When the killer strikes, his attack leaves John unscathed, but places both his new love and Felicia square in the ravenous maw of imminent death.
With a daring, near suicidal act, John may be able to save one of the women he loves, but which one?
Will he sacrifice Felicia, or choose to save the woman who brought him back from despair, a woman who loves him more than life.
It's an unthinkable choice and its resolution will shape John's life forever.

With such tense novels as Blindsighted and Kisscut, Karin Slaughter has firmly positioned herself as one of the most capable exponents of the crime novel at work today ? and certainly one of the most disturbing (a skill the author is clearly proud of). What's more, she ensures that each new book is subtly different from its predecessor, as her latest, Broken, demonstrates, with its innovative, edgy mix of tried and trusted elements. We are introduced once again to former Grant County medical examiner Sara Linton, proving that the Jacobean taste for bloodshed and mystery is alive and well in contemporary USA.

A woman's corpse is discovered in the waters of Lake Grant, and a note is found which seems to point to suicide ? but Sara Linton has never been a woman to settle for obvious solutions. The principal suspect in the case has requested ? desperately -- to be able to speak to Sara -- but when she turns up at his cell in the local police station, the suspect, Tommy Braham (whom she had known as a boy), is unable to speak to her. Tommy is dead; he has been savagely beaten, and his wrists have been cut. Scrawled in blood on the cell wall is a poignant message: ?Not me?. Sara, personally involved now, is distrustful of Lena Adams the detective in charge, so she gets in touch with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and asks (as she has done before) for the help of Special Agent Will Trent (Karin Slaughter readers will be well aware of the intriguing relationship between these two). The duo begins to suspect that a murderer enjoys the covert protection of the close-mouthed inhabitants of Grant County, who have fashioned a skein of non-communication. But, as the Bard observed, murder will out...

With so many writers tackling uncompromising material such as this (and Slaughter is nothing if not uncompromising), there is clearly a danger of over-familiarity for readers. But it?s a measure of the author?s skill that such notions are firmly banished, and Slaughter?s customary position at the top of the bestseller charts is well earned. --Barry Forshaw
