Slaughter will be coming to Des Moines as part of her book tour for her newest novel, Girl, Forgotten, which will be released on Tuesday, August 23. A sequel Slaughter’s massive hit novel Pieces of Her (2018), Girl, Forgotten is an electrifying thriller featuring newly minted US Marshal Andrea Oliver as she investigates a cold case with links to her father’s past.
