What Slaughter fans can expect
Slaughter has written more than 25 novels, sold over 40 million copies in 120 countries and founded the Save the Libraries project, a nonprofit supporting library programming. Her Will Trent thriller series is in its fourth television season, and her novel "Pieces of Her" debuted at No. 1 worldwide on Netflix in 2022.
Her first North Falls book, "We Are All Guilty Here," published in August 2025 and became an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller. The sequel follows Sheriff Emmy Clifton and her sister, ex-federal agent Jude Archer, as they investigate a murder and a near-fatal attack on a teenager in the fictional town of North Falls.
