Book Description:
Dr. Mark Sloan is startled to discover a dead woman—dressed as a mermaid—washed up on the beach outside his home. Even more bizarre, the autopsy reveals a digital memory card within a capsule inside the body's stomach. The card contains the report of a forty-three-year-old murder in Los Angeles—the first homicide case Mark ever solved, when he was a struggling intern and newlywed father.



When a second body is discovered—a woman who was apparently the victim of an impromptu autopsy in her own kitchen—the good doctor realizes that he must find the connection between the two murders. And perhaps more urgently, the connection to his own past...

Mark is on the trail of a serial killer. A dead body is found in a mermaid's costume. She had a memory card inside her with a newspaper article from 40 years ago; the first murder that Mark worked on. But did he find the right killer? Much of this book takes place in 1962, hence the title, The Past Tense.

I loved this series when it was on TV and love the books as well. This one goes back in time to things that happen during the 1960s, which made it particularly interesting to me.
