Thriller Medical
New York City medical examiner Edward Jenner thought
he'd gotten out, turning his back on forensics—and
life—after the nightmare of September 11. But when a young
student is found murdered, her mutilated body hanging on the
wall of an East Village apartment, Jenner is forced out of
retirement. One look at the victim and Jenner is sure
there's a serial killer on the loose—a hunch confirmed when
he uncovers a second horrific murder. And when a friend asks
him to look after a beautiful girl threatened by the killer,
Jenner can't refuse. Dragged back onto the dark
streets of New York City, Jenner is pushed to the limits of
his physical endurance, pitting his sharpest intuitions
against the elusive maneuverings of a psychopath. He's
getting within inches of the answer, but the clock is
ticking and the killer is just too fast—ten steps ahead of
the police, two steps ahead of Jenner, and always just out
of reach. As the killings continue, Jenner's
desperate chase brings him ever closer to the man behind the
grisliest murders he's ever seen—and only one of them can
survive. This is real-world forensic investigation,
where fingerprints lead nowhere, DNA doesn't help, and
serial killers aren't always caught in the nick of time. . .
