Book description
Bill Brockton is exhuming a body to obtain a bone sample for a
paternity test. A simple enough job until he discovers that the body s
limbs have all been removed. Digging deeper, he soon finds himself
embroiled in the massive and very illegal market for human body parts.
He becomes drawn into the enterprise, selling donated corpses to the
postmortem chop shop in league with the FBI, hoping to bring the
organization down. All the while, his friend and Medical Examiner, Eddie
Garcia, is struggling with the aftermath of their last case. A massive
dose of radiation has left him missing one hand and most of the fingers
from the other. He s on the waiting list for a transplant, but with so
many parts around, Brockton is sorely tempted to jeopardize the
investigation and his own principles to help his friend. Will he be able
to live with himself if he does? Will he be able to live with himself if
he doesn t? Bill Brockton is exhuming a body to obtain a bone sample
