International bestseller Karin Slaughter asked her friends to write a chapter about a charm bracelet and the result was this book, Like A Charm.  Karin has a strong following with her taught thrillers set in Grant County, Georgia. One of her books, A Faint Cold Fear, was published as a Scorpion Press edition. The strength of the book is that each story has a twist and a turn, with different slants and ingredients.
