Forensic investigator Theresa MacLean takes on the worst
kind of murder case—one without clues—in 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 died—her body
shows no visible marks, and the autopsy reveals nothing
suspicious—and 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 murder—evidence that doesn't seem
to exist—before it's too late.
