Cop Town

Karin Slaughter

Kate Murphy’s first day as an Atlanta police officer couldn’t get off to a worse start. She’s despised by the women, lusted after by the men and disregarded by the public she has sworn to protect.

Against the backdrop of 1970s Atlanta, where lines are drawn along racial as well as gender divides, Murphy has signed up to join a police force ravaged by in-fighting and on the hunt for a killer who likes nothing better than killing officers of the law.
