Forensic expert "Cat" Ferry is suspended from an FBI task force when the world-class odontologist is inexplicably stricken with panic attacks and blackouts while investigating a chain of brutal New Orleans murders.

A detective who is struggling with emotional problems while trying to unravel a murder mystery finds secrets buried in her past in this thriller. I loved this book. I got it from the library, then went out and bought it so I'd have a copy to keep. Excellent.

A really gripping mystery. A somewhat "flawed" detective in Mississippi finds the answers to several murders through memories of her own very unhappy childhood.Very well written.

Hope for those detectives who are bipolar, alcoholic, pregnant, depressed and sexually abused as children - in the form of spunky and suffering forensic expert "Cat Ferry" who solves the mystery of her childhood trauma.

A little too long, but it kept me interested. The topic is a little hard to take at times (sexual abuse of children).
