Dr Anya Crichton, a pathologist and forensic physician, finds 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.
After her expert evidence helps win a high-profile court case, Anya is asked by lawyer Dan Brody to look into the drug overdose of a young Lebanese girl. While investigating, Anya notices startling coincidences in a number of unrelated suicides she's been asked to examine by friend and colleague, Detective Sergeant Kate Farrer. All the victims disappeared for a period of time, before committing suicide in bizarre 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. One in which Anya is unwillingly immersed...

It is good to be reading about places you know for a change. I enjoyed the book very much & found it very easy reading. The short chapters seemed to aid the action, events moved along quickly & smoothly, & there were no unnecessarily long descriptive passages used as filler. The forensic medicine was extremely interesting, it usually is. I'm hoping the next one leaves Anya with a much less bleak outlook. I'd like to give it an 8.5 but as I can't I'll give it the 9 because I thought this was an extremely good first book.
