About this eBook

When a body is found beneath a construction site near the Catskill Mountains, New York City deputy chief medical examiner Jake Rosen is called to the scene, where he meets his match: Philomena “Manny” Manfreda, a beautiful crusading attorney. Together they stumble upon a decades-old mystery involving a long-shuttered mental institution, shocking medical experiments, and a troubled love affair.

Ratings and reviews

This is a light, fun mystery. It's an easy, interesting read for those who like to know a bit more about forensics than what you see in your everyday primetime shows, and considering it was written by Michael Baden adds to the realistic atmosphere related to the procedures. If anything, it compensates for the seemingly light and straightforward plot narrated through it.
