I seem to have lost any interest in the series I used to really enjoy. Pity ( )

Three mysterious deaths of medical personnel become related....unfortunately, after the first they were each investigating the other. A dramatic ending. Very engrossing. ( )

this was a easy read as are all of Mr Cook's books. I did love the knew characters he added to his stories since he dose use the same characters in most of his books, although they are all stand alone reads also. This was actually one of the times i figured it out before the end of the book. ( )

Always great....I am never disappointed with his fast-paced writing!! ( )

When the body of 28-year-old social worker Kera Jacobsen shows up on Chief New York City Medical Examiner Laurie Montgomery's autopsy table, at first it appears she was the victim of a tragic yet routine drug overdose. But for Laurie and her new pathology resident, the brilliant but enigmatic Dr. Aria Nichols, little things aren't adding up. Kera's family and friends swear she never touched drugs. Administrators from the hospital where Kera worked are insisting the case be shrouded in silence. And although Kera was 10 weeks pregnant, nobody seems to know who the father was - or whether he holds the key to Kera's final moments alive.

As a medical emergency temporarily sidelines Laurie, impulsive Aria turns to a controversial new technique: using genealogical DNA databases to track down those who don't want to be found. Working with experts at a start-up ancestry website, she plans to trace the fetus' DNA back to likely male relatives in the hopes of identifying the mystery father.

But when Kera's closest friend and fellow social worker is murdered, the need for answers becomes even more urgent. Because someone out there clearly doesn't want Kera's secrets to come to light...and if Aria gets any closer to the truth, she and Laurie might find themselves a killer's next targets. ( )
