Thriller
Forensic expert Dr. Michael Baden of the HBO series Autopsy
and trial attorney and legal commentator Linda Kenney Baden
bring us a chilling new thriller featuring their crack
crime-fighting duo: Dr. Jake Rosen, world-famous
pathologist, deputy chief medical examiner, and devoted
scientist; and top litigator Manny Manfreda, who is as
lovely (and accessorized) as she is gutsy. The case begins with New York City on high alert for a most
bizarre serial killer—a strange kind of thief who stalks his
victims for the purpose of extracting a vial of blood,
earning him the tabloid nickname the Vampire. As the attacks
become more and more vicious and escalate to torture and
then to murder, Jake and Manny begin to suspect there is a
connection between the killer’s seemingly random victims.
But what is the link between the Vampire and a case that
Manny’s been working for a kid whose high school
prank-gone-wrong has earned him the moniker the Preppy
Terrorist and an FBI electronic ankle bracelet? Jake’s
careful forensic examinations, Manny’s courtroom
tenaciousness, and an unusual clue suggesting that a
high-ranking politician has risen from the grave take the
pair from the bowels of the morgue to the world of
international intrigue. At the heart of this story is a
tragic tale of corruption interlaced with cover-ups,
conspiracies, death squads, and dictators who committed
crimes that to this day go unpunished. A fast-paced, boldly imagined work from an exuberant new
team in suspense.
