Rent Pretty Girls: A Novel (includes the short story ''Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes'')

Synopsis

From the critically acclaimed and New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a stand-alone novel about family and belonging, justice and retribution, the decisions we make -- and the choices that haunt us. Pretty Girlsalso includes the chilling short story ''Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes.''

Sisters Rae and Sam grew up in the long shadow of their father, a lawyer who devoted himself to defending the helpless and under-served. While for Sam adult life has meant honoring his legacy -- working in his law firm and staying in their small, sleepy town -- Rae is estranged from her family, with a high-flying, well-paid corporate law career in Atlanta. But when Rae sees an unsettling, explosive video of one of her hedge fund clients, she suddenly becomes a target for corrupt and sinister forces. Panicked, she retreats to the home she'd left behind … but someone is watching, and now Rae and Sam are both within his sights.

In this gripping thriller -- and keenly observant look at the bonds we test, sever, and rebuild -- Karin Slaughter has created a masterpiece, another critical piece of evidence in the case for her as one of our most talented, powerful writers.
