Karin Slaughter, author of the book The Kept Woman.

In Georgia native Karin Slaughter's latest novel "The Kept Woman," we are taken to the frontlines of a crime scene where there are more questions than answers. A body turns up, and the lead investigator is Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. If you're familiar with Karin's other novels, you've likely come across him many times before. We talked with her about the appeal of crime novels, and how she sees her role as a voice for sexual assault victims.
