False Witness by Karen Slaughter

 OMG!

To date, this is the best Karin Slaughter story I have ever read. It is raw! It is monstrous.

Kaley was thirteen when she babysat Andrew. His father was abusing her. When she found the camera that he had filmed her during all his sexual treatments, he knew she had to die. While defending herself, she ended cutting his femoral artery. Her sister raced to help her and helped finish the pedophile. They were able to make the monster disappear. Lee would become a defense lawyer while her sister would fall under the influence of heroin.

Years later, Andrew, who has been accused of a brutal rape arranges to have Lee represent him. This is where the games begin because he knows she and her sister killed his father. This cat-and-mouse game keeps escalating, so there seems to be no way out. One of those few books you can’t wait to see how it will end but hate for it to finish.
