Kisscut, by Karin Slaughter (Century, £6.99)
Saturday night in American small town Heartsdale and Sarah Linton, the medical examiner and paediatrician, is on a double date with her sister Tessa at the skating rink. A youngsters quarrel outside the rink leads to a savage shoot out and the death of a teenage girl. The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse and self-mutilation. Sarah and her ex-husband, police-chief Jeffrey Tolliver investigate the crime but the children surrounding the victim close ranks. When a young girl is abducted the stakes are raised and Sarah and Jeffrey strive to untangle the conspiracy and avert further carnage.
Energetic, suspenseful writing from Slaughter who spares no detail in this bloody account of violent sexual crime but also brings compassion and righteous anger to its telling.
