Remains Silent

Résumé du livre

"A masterful debut crime novel--the first in a stunning new series in contemporary suspense--that brilliantly mines the worlds of forensic science and law and introduces an iresistible crimfighing team. Philomena "Manny" Manfreda is a crusading attorney for the disenfranchised ... Dr. Jake Rosen is the deputy chief medical examiner of New York City ... When a body is unearthed beneath the construction site of a mall near the Catskill Mountains, Jake is called to the scene by his elderly mentor, Dr. Peter Harrigan, to examine the bones. Futher investigation reveals a gruesome discovery: additional skeletal remains with striking abnormalities. After one of the victims is indentified, the family of the deceased retains Manny to represent them, and, with Jake, she is swept into a terrifying vortex of murder and deceit, where a mounting body count hides both a shocking cover-up and a devasting love story."--Publisher.
