"Quite simply, one of the best storytellers around" Tess Gerritsen
Called out to examine the body of a female construction worker at a Cleveland building site, forensic scientist Theresa MacLean soon discovers that what she initially assumed to be an industrial accident may be nothing of the kind. For why was the dead woman smartly dressed? And what would she be doing on the 23rd storey of an unfinished building in the middle of the night?
Then it turns out there was a witness to the death: a young girl nicknamed Ghost due to her habit of slipping silently and watchfully around the neighbourhood. Ghost saw the woman fall. Except Ghost says she didn't fall - she was pushed by someone Ghost can only identify as the Shadow Man.
Soon Theresa finds herself in a race against time to protect Ghost from an unknown killer before he is able to find the little girl and silence her for good.
Book 6
Book 7
Forensic scientist Theresa MacLean stumbles across a murder rather too close for comfort when she returns to the Medical Examiner's office following a late-night call to find one deskman missing and the other beaten to death. Written in blood above the dead man's head is a single word: 'Confess'.
It's the first time a homicide has taken place actually within the ME's office. Medical Examiner Stone works on how to spin the news while Theresa works the scene.
When a second victim is discovered, Theresa uncovers a link to the death of another co-worker, records secretary Diane Allman, who was murdered in her own home ten years before. As she painstakingly pieces the clues together, Theresa realizes that she has become an integral part of a ruthless killer's murderous agenda. And if she is to survive, she must find out what really happened to Diane all those years ago.
