Since her divorce, Evelyn James balances her work as a
forensic trace evidence specialist for the Cleveland Police
with raising an angry teenage daughter who blames her for
the divorce. When you add in an ex-husband with his new
perfect, young wife, Evelyn prefers dealing with the
corpses from work. This all changes when she arrives on a
horrific crime scene, guaranteed to produce nightmares.
Divers discover a beautiful young woman standing underwater
with her feet encased in a cement-filled bucket. Increasing
the horror is that the evidence points to the victim being
alive when she was tossed into the water.
When the next victim is the mayor's daughter, pressure
mounts to uncover evidence to find who's behind these
repugnant crimes. Evelyn works with David Milaski, a
detective given one last chance to succeed. They feverishly
try to discover the identity of the first girl, looking for
possible mob connections. The case rapidly becomes a career
make-it or break-it for Evelyn and David. As they get
closer to the killer, Evelyn's own life is in jeopardy.
David has only minutes to solve the puzzle's last piece and
save Evelyn from a watery grave.
A forensic specialist for the Florida police department,
Elizabeth Becka uses her own career and experience
to give readers a hard-hitting, realistic suspense that
rings with authenticity. Fans of Patricia Cornwell
and Kathy Reichs will enjoy this nail-biting debut
novel and look forward to the next Evelyn James book.
