Thorn in My Side

Wayne and Kirk are twins, real close-like. Yet in some ways, they couldn't be more different. One is a devout Christian, the other godless. One is a virgin, the other a notable debaucher. But despite being intimately related opposites--think "night and day," "right and left," "fore and aft"--you can say this for the twins: they stick together, be it through thick and thin, work and play, or rape and murder. Regarding the latter, author Karin Slaughter's inseparable pair engages in these and other dirty deeds in what must be the most disturbing and unforgettable tale of wayward brothers. It could have been just any night, and they could have just been any two brothers--but it wasn't, and they weren't. The scene is an Atlanta bar. The music is loud and the dance floor is packed. The good-looking brother picks up a girl. But when dark deeds ensue out in the parking lot, what happens next can only be described in two words: vintage Slaughter. From the opening scene to the last line, Thorn in My Side is as wicked as it is entertaining--an unforgettable piece of writing from one of the most beloved storytellers working today.
