Publisher Description
Forensic expert Dr. Michael Baden of the HBO series Autopsy and trial attorney and legal commentator Linda Kenney Baden bring us a chilling new thriller featuring their crack crime-fighting duo: Dr. Jake Rosen, world-famous pathologist, deputy chief medical examiner, and devoted scientist; and top litigator Manny Manfreda, who is as lovely (and accessorized) as she is gutsy.
The case begins with New York City on high alert for a most bizarre serial killer—a strange kind of thief who stalks his victims for the purpose of extracting a vial of blood, earning him the tabloid nickname the Vampire. As the attacks become more and more vicious and escalate to torture and then to murder, Jake and Manny begin to suspect there is a connection between the killer’s seemingly random victims. But what is the link between the Vampire and a case that Manny’s been working for a kid whose high school prank-gone-wrong has earned him the moniker the Preppy Terrorist and an FBI electronic ankle bracelet? Jake’s careful forensic examinations, Manny’s courtroom tenaciousness, and an unusual clue suggesting that a high-ranking politician has risen from the grave take the pair from the bowels of the morgue to the world of international intrigue. At the heart of this story is a tragic tale of corruption interlaced with cover-ups, conspiracies, death squads, and dictators who committed crimes that to this day go unpunished.
A fast-paced, boldly imagined work from an exuberant new team in suspense.

" It's an easy read but the storyline is a bit slow, lacks investigative plots (everything investigated fits together too easily) and the ending is a little predictable and therefore disappointing. "

" if you've ever thought about writing a mystery book and have not done much preparation or planning, this is what your book will turn out like. predictable, plodding, and a poor attempt to be what it clearly is not and will never be, a page turner. "

" I really liked the first book in this series but maybe I just wasn't in the mood to read this one. I finished it but it just seemed really simplistic--almost like a James Patterson but maybe still a step above. <br/> <br/>I had hopes for this one but I was disappointed. "
