Mystery Woman Sleuth | Thriller Psychological
A gripping and powerful new thriller -- the debut of a
stunning new voice in suspense fiction -- and the first
appearance of a tough and remarkable investigator,
pathologist, and forensic physician, Dr. Anya Crichton. The only female freelancer in the male-dominated field,
pathologist Dr. Anya Crichton will take any work she can
find to pay child support and her mortgage, get her new
business off the ground, and battle her ex-husband for
custody of their three-year-old son. Things turn around
rapidly, however, when her expert forensic evidence is
instrumental in winning a high-profile case -- and new
work offers start pouring in. But Anya's investigation into the drug overdose of a young
Lebanese girl is raising troubling questions. Startling
coincidences between this sad and tragic death and a
series of seemingly unrelated suicides that Anya is also
examining at the urging of her friend and colleague,
detective sergeant Kate Farrer, suggest that there's a
monumental evil at work in the shadows. With each scalpel
cut, Anya Crichton's forensic prowess and deductive
brilliance are pulling her relentlessly toward a sinister
plot and a devastating truth -- and once she enters the
lethal darkness, she may never again see the light of day.
