Karin Slaughter

2005

Will Trent is the creation of Karen Slaughter, an American crime writer.
He was a foundling who grew up in the harsh environment of the Atlanta Children’s Home. He now has a university degree and works as a Special Agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The first two books in the series are Triptych and Fractured. There are also two short stories with Will Trent, Busted and Snatched.
A television series based on Karen Slaughter books featuring Will Trent is being released early in 2023 (streaming on Hulu). Will Trent is played by Ramon Rodriguez.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
