Join us for a thrilling evening with acclaimed author Karin Slaughter as we chat about her "North Falls" series, consisting of "We Are All Guilty Here," in which two teenage girls vanish in rural Georgia, and her upcoming sequel, "The Secrets We Hide."

In "The Secrets We Hide," Slaughter welcomes readers back to North Falls, a small town with big secrets. 1601 Iris Drive looks like any other house on the quiet residential street, but rumors are rampant about the Vickery family and what goes on behind closed doors.

When gunshots ring out, sheriff Emmy Clifton and her sister, ex-federal agent Jude Archer, discover a devastating crime scene. Allison Vickery has been murdered in her own kitchen and her teenage daughter is bleeding upstairs, left for dead.

Everyone thinks they know what happened. But secrets are buried everywhere in this small town, and it’s up to Emmy Clifton to uncover the truth.

Register now to take part in the discussion, and for an exclusive sneak peek of "The Secrets We Hide," coming out August 11, 2026.
