reviewed on + 301 more book reviews


Forensics is her forte. Working in Seattle's State Crime Lab, living on lovely Lomitas Island--ehere her father is local Medical Examiner--Dr. Amy Prescott can't escape trouble. . .not when it runs in the family.

Every sign screamed murder--but where was the body? A call in the wee hours of the morning had sent Amy racing over to Oren Prescott's apartment where she'd found enough mayhem to suggest that a crime had been committed. But there was no sign of corpse. . .or her cousin.

Amy believes Oren is innocent--if she could only find him. But dead or alive, his gorgeous fiancee has vanished without a trace. Now as Amy and ace reporter Simon Kittredge pool their skills, tracking clues that lead from a Montana mental hospital to an abandoned waterfront pier, someone is watching Amy's every move. . .menacing her with deadly threats. By the time a real body surfaces, it could be too late for Dr. Amy Prescot. She's just been targeted as the next victim.
