Dr. David Hunter is running from his past and his occupation in the small English village of Manham. The local General Practitioner, Dr. Henry Maitland, hires David to help him run his clinic after a tragic car accident, which leaves Dr. Maitland without use of his legs. David's new life is uneventful until local boys find the dead body of Sally Palmer.
During a routine background check on the patrons living in Manham, local law enforcement learns that David is a specialist in forensic anthropology. They become extremely persistent in asking him to assist them in figuring out the details of Sally's death; David reluctantly agrees to help them -- just this once. When another female body is found, David must use all of his expertise and face his own past to help find a killer.
This is a fabulous read!!! The forensic detail is so astonishing that I did not miss a word and refused to put it down.
When the bizarrely mutilated body of a young woman is
found near the tiny isolated Norfolk village of Manham, it
isn't just the fact that she was a friend that disturbs Dr
David Hunter. A one-time high-profile forensic
anthropologist, he was once all too familiar with the
different faces of death, until a devastating personal
tragedy made him abandon his former life and career.
Now hidden away as a country doctor, Hunter had hoped his
past would remain buried. So when he's asked to use his
arcane skills to help track down the killer, he's
reluctant to become involved. He knows to do so will only
stir up the painful memories he's been trying so hard to
forget. But then another woman disappears, plunging Manham
into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia where no one, not
even Hunter, is exempt from suspicion. As the once
peaceful community begins to tear itself apart, he knows
he will need all his knowledge and expertise if the
twisted killer is to be stopped...
