Deputy Coroner Clay Edison goes to extreme lengths for a
forgotten Jane Doe in the new thriller from a father-son
team of bestselling authors who write “brilliant,
page-turning fiction” (Stephen King).
Clay Edison is busy. He’s solved a decades-old crime and
redeemed an innocent man, earning himself a suspension in
the process. Things are getting serious with his girlfriend.
Plus his brother’s fresh out of prison, bringing with him a
whole new set of complications.
Then the phone rings in the dead of night.
A wild party in a gentrifying East Bay neighborhood. A
heated argument that spills into the street. Gunshots. Chaos.
For Clay and his fellow coroners, it’s the start of a long
night and the first of many to come. The victims keep piling
up. What begins as a community tragedy soon becomes lurid
fodder for social media.
Then the smoke clears and the real mystery emerges—one
victim’s death doesn’t match the others. Brutalized and
abandoned, stripped of ID, and left to die: She is Jane Doe,
a human question mark. And it falls to Clay to give her a
name and a voice.
Haunted by the cruelty of her death, he embarks upon a
journey into the bizarre, entering a hidden world where
innocence and perversity meet and mingle. There, his
relentless pursuit of the truth opens the gateway to a dark
and baffling past—and brings him right into the line of fire.
