Book description
Dr Anya Crichton, a pathologist and forensic physician, finds that work
is sparse for the only female freelancer in the field. Between paying
child support, a mortgage and struggling to get her business off the
ground, Anya can't yet afford to fight her ex-husband for custody of
their three-year-old son, Ben. When Anya is asked to look into the
seemingly innocent suicide of a teenager, Anya notices similarities
between the girl's death and several other cases she is working on with
her friend and colleague, Detective Sergeant Kate Farrer. All the
victims went missing for a period of time, only to be found dead of
apparent suicide in most unusual circumstances. As Anya delves deeper,
the pathological findings point to the frightening possibility that the
deaths are not only linked, but part of a sinister plot. Nothing can
prepare her for the terrifying truth... Kathryn Fox is a general
practitioner with a special interest in forensic medicine. She lives in
Sydney where she also works as a freelance medical journalist, having
written regularly for publications including Australian Doctor, CLEO
magazine and the Sun-Herald. Kathryn is currently working on a TV
project and her second novel in the Dr Anya Crichton series.
