Synopsis

The first body is a mystery. She's young. She's beautiful. And her corpse, laid out in the office of Boston medical examiner Kat Novak, betrays no secrets - except for a matchbook clutched in one stiff hand, seven numbers scrawled inside. The next body is a warning. When a second victim is discovered, Kat begins to fear that a serial killer is stalking the streets. The police are sceptical. The mayor won't listen. And Kat's chief suspect is one of the town's most prominent citizens. The final body ...might be hers. With the death toll rising, Kat races to expose a deadly predator who is closer than she ever dreamt. And every move she makes could be her very last.

Review

This is the first book Tess Gerritsen ever wrote about crime, having previously been a romance writer, but this is in no way evident in her writing. The book is well written and the lead character - the strong willed Kat Novak - is the driving force behind the story, with never a dull moment to be found.

The book sets the tone for other novels to come, and hooks readers into becomming long term Gerritsen fans.
