Summary

Forensic anthropologist Dr. David Hunter returns in a new, visceral, intelligent, and utterly compelling crime thriller, perfect for fans of Kathy Reichs.

A serial killer is at work, and the death toll is rising. The victim has been bound and tortured, the body decomposed beyond recognition. Then a second body is found. A nightmare is about to begin. Once a brutal abduction takes place, it becomes a terrifying race against time for forensic expert David Hunter.
