A lawyer’s past meets a client’s crisis

This prequel to *The Good Daughter* links Charlie Quinn’s childhood trauma to the work she takes on as an adult lawyer. When teenager Flora Faulkner asks for help, Charlie’s personal history shapes her response, while Flora’s situation raises questions about what protection may demand and how much a client’s account can be trusted. The setup brings together legal advocacy, family grievance, and suspense around the limits of loyalty. The description presents Charlie’s case as one where defending a vulnerable client is complicated by uncertainty, rather than a straightforward matter of right and wrong.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in legal suspense and a lawyer protagonist.
  • Those who enjoy stories involving family conflict and difficult questions of trust.
  • Readers familiar with *The Good Daughter* seeking a prequel centered on Charlie Quinn.

Book overview

A razor-sharp prequel to Karin Slaughter's instant New York Times bestseller The Good Daughter, which is now a Peacock limited series starring Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy.

Protecting someone always comes at a cost.

At the age of thirteen, Charlie Quinn's childhood came to an abrupt and devastating end. Two men, with a grudge against her lawyer father, broke into her home--and after that shocking night, Charlie's world was never the same.

Now a lawyer herself, Charlie has made it her mission to defend those with no one else to turn to. So when Flora Faulkner, a motherless teen, begs for help, Charlie is reminded of her own past, and is powerless to say no.

But honor-student Flora is in far deeper trouble than Charlie could ever have anticipated. Soon she must ask herself: How far should she go to protect her client? And can she truly believe everything she is being told?

Razor-sharp and lightning-fast, this electrifying story from the #1 New York Times bestselling author will leave you breathless.
