Book description
Into the flood again & As a medical examiner, Samantha Owens knows
her job is to make a certain sense of death with crisp methodology and
precision instruments. But the day the Tennessee floods took her husband
and children, the light vanished from Sam s life. She has been pulled
into a suffocating grief no amount of workaholic ardor can penetrate
until she receives a peculiar call from Washington, D. C. On the other
end of the line is an old boyfriend s mother, asking Sam to do a second
autopsy on her son. Eddie Donovan is officially the victim of a vicious
carjacking, but under Sam s sharp eye the forensics tell a darker story.
The ex-Ranger was murdered, though not for his car. Forced to confront
the burning memories and feelings about yet another loved one killed
brutally, Sam loses herself in the mystery contained within Donovan s
old notes. It leads her to the untouchable Xander, a soldier off-grid
since his return from Afghanistan, and then to a series of brutal crimes
stretching from that harsh mountainous war zone to this nation s
capital. The tale told between the lines makes it clear that nobody s
hands are clean, and that making sense of murder sometimes means putting
yourself in the crosshairs of death. "Shocking suspense, compelling
characters and fascinating forensic details. When it comes to fast-paced
thrillers, J. T. Ellison always has her game on."-Lisa Gardner, #1
NYT bestselling author "Intense and riveting, A Deeper Darkness is
J. T. Ellison at her finest. Dr. Samantha Owens is one of the most
memorable and engaging characters in thriller fiction today.
