Forensic investigator Theresa MacLean takes on the worst kind of murder caseโone without cluesโin this second novel in a hot new series from Lisa Black
Eight months ago, forensic investigator Theresa MacLean lost her fiance in a bank robbery gone wrong, and she's had trouble concentrating on her work ever since. But now a particularly difficult case may just be what she needs to regain her focus by demanding all her skill, intelligence, and attention. Jillian Perry has been found dead in the woods, leaving behind a husband of three weeks and a young daughter. The police can't determine how she diedโher body shows no visible marks, and the autopsy reveals nothing suspiciousโand the leading theory is that she purposely wandered into the forest and succumbed to the freezing weather. But something doesn't feel right to Theresa, and she can't let it go.
To complicate matters, a former boyfriend of Jillian's unexpectedly petitions for custody of the daughter. Obsessed with Jillian, he also suspects foul play in Jillian's death, and now he and Theresa believe Jillian's daughter may be in danger of meeting a similar fate. With a child's life at stake, Theresa must search for evidence of murderโevidence that doesn't seem to existโbefore it's too late.
