About this ebook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Detectives, lovers, and enemies face off in an unforgettable battle between righteous courage and deepest evil, from “one of the best crime novelists in America” (The Washington Post).

WATCH WILL TRENT ON ABC • “Compelling . . . Slaughter balances a complex plot with believable twists while sensitively exploring her realistic characters’ emotions and problems.”—South Florida Sun-Sentinel

With the bonus story “Busted”
 
Will Trent is a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent, working undercover in Macon, Georgia, posing as Bill Black, a scary ex-con who trails an air of violence wherever he goes. The cover has worked and he has caught the eye of a wiry little drug dealer who thinks he might be a useful ally. 
 
But there’s a problem. Cut off from the support of the woman he loves, Sara Linton, Will finds his demons catching up with him. 
 
Although she has no idea where Will has gone, or why, Sara herself has come to Macon because of a cop shooting. Her stepson, Jared, has been gunned down. Suddenly, without even knowing it, Sara finds herself involved in the same case that Will is working—with danger swirling around both of them. 
 
A novel of fierce intensity, shifting allegiances, and shocking twists, Unseen is an electrifying thriller and a piercing study of human nature: what happens when good people face the unseen evils in their lives.

Ratings and reviews

The best stories aren’t ones that leave good impressions, but the ones that offer connections from which we relate because of our own experiences. Yes the good ones draw you in but the best ones are the ones that make you feel like you’re somehow right beside each character. You feel what they feel, You want to give advice just as much as you learn from them. Unseen is one of those best stories that’s hard to tear yourself away from. It’s an example of characters that shouldn’t be judged by their cover, entertains unfathomable actions by people who we trust without question, but most of all, it’s a story that shows that people by nature make mistakes. Overall, Unseen is a phenomenal mix of love, deceit, regret, sickness, and the will to move on. Unseen not only has a great plot, word choice, and flow, but the characters and events weave together flawlessly and have you guessing right up until the end. fictionallyspeaking.blogspot.com [e-mail]

Obviously, it took me a while to finish this book. It doesn't mean that the book is bad. So many things are happening in my life at the moment. Anyhow, I enjoyed this book just like the other Will Trent books. Full of action. This time it keeps getting better and dangerous. I like all the detailed articles about crime and cases that they handle. I really like Faith and Amanda. I certainly like Will and Sara all the way until the end. They deserve each other. Deserve to be happy. I'm excited to read the next book. Yay! Highly recommended!

Unseen is one you won't want to put down......a roller coaster ride that has lots of twists and turns.....its hard to tell who is good who is bad...will keep you guessing till the end
