She loved to read from a very young age when her father would read her stories that she would memorize. Karin Slaughter was born in 1971 in Convington, Georgia, hailing from a small, blue-collar community which is about fifty miles south of Atlanta where the author currently is living. Additional smaller scars on his body are from various torture elements like cigarette burns, whips, and electrical burns. He has several scars, one on his upper lip, one that runs down from his ear to his collar, and another one on the back of his head. For example, he can’t read maps or menus in new restaurants, so he only frequents known places where he has them memorized or knows the products by their labels.Īs for the physical description, Will Trent is 6’3″ tall with broad shoulders he is thin, tall, and strong, with short dirty-blonde hair and huge hands. Later on, he moved to the Special Criminal Apprehension Team led by Amanda Wagner, his new boss.īecause he is dyslexic, he is used to lots of tricks to hide what he considers a personal failure. He was always considered a very good agent (with a high rate of 80% of cases solved which was unusual in itself), but a loner, who preferred to work alone. Will ended up working at the GBI in the Major Case Squad. Still the two were not really in love, so the relationship didn’t stand the test of time. They became friends and later one, partners in life, developing a serious relationship. While at the orphanage, when Will Trent was 8, he met Angie Polaski, who also went to live at that place. Will grew up in the Atlanta Children’s Home after being found in a trashcan as a baby and brought there. He is working from the Atlanta office, a city with a high rate of crime, which keeps him always on his toes. He does read and write, just not very fast. He is good at hiding his dyslexia from other people, and because of that, he also has a better insight into criminals who are hiding something, because he already know the signs. He is a GBI ( Georgia Bureau of Investigation) special agent, dyslexic at that.
Will Trent is the main protagonist of the Karin Slaughter’s second main series after Grant County.
