The upcoming release of her 25th novel is proving to be a time of reflection for Karin Slaughter.

The New York Times bestselling author, 54, will release her 25th book, We Are All Guilty Here, on Aug. 12. The story kicks off her new North Falls series, which will explore the dark underbelly of a small town community in Georgia through the eyes of police officer Emmy Clifton.

We Are All Guilty Here marks a return to her roots for Slaughter, who began her writing career with 2001's Blindsighted. The book was the first in her Grant County series, which also delved into the secrets a small Southern town would rather keep quiet.
