Publisher Description
In Elizabeth Becka’s latest highly suspenseful novel, forensic scientist Evelyn James returns to investigate a harrowing series of crimes–only to find that no one is safe. Evelyn James is a forensic specialist in the Cleveland Medical Examiner’s office who’s juggling a demanding workload, a teenage daughter from a failed marriage, and a homicide detective boyfriend. And somehow she always happens to be involved in some of the twistiest, most challenging crime scenes imaginable. This time around she’s called in to investigate what appears to be a locked-room mystery: A wealthy woman is murdered in the penthouse suite of a luxurious, high-security building. The building’s intricate surveillance system didn’t pick up anything, the entrance wasn’t forced, and the victim’s husband has an airtight alibi. Cases like this, Evelyn knows, can turn on the most microscopic piece of evidence, if she can find any. Then Evelyn’s best friend is attacked–and things get personal. When another body is found in an apartment across town, Evelyn realizes that the killer’s choice of victim is anything but random . . .

"Not quite as good as her first novel, but it keeps the reader's interest and is full of forensic facts. I admit I'm partial 'cos I've met her, but I think I would've like it even if I hadn't. "
— Rebecca (4 out of 5 stars)

" Enjoyable summer read, but not as engrossing as the said-to-be-similar Kay Scarpetta novels. "

" Another 3.5 star book. Good mystery. "

" Pretty good, but I wonder how the ME gets away with doing the Police Depts work by investigating the murder. The main character was hardly ever at her office doing her real job. David (the boyfriend) also pissed me off he came across as such a clingy, suffocating type, "Red Flag" run! Lol. "

" Mediocre at (at best) mystery from a forensic scientists point of view. Very little depth to her characters, very predictable. "
— Ron, 10/26/2013 -
" This is a very good mystery. Forensic descriptions are not too graphic, which suits me just fine. The story moves along at a nice pace and keeps you guessing. "

" Not a bad 2nd book in a what I thought was a series but it would appear that she hasn't written anymore. She has written another series though under the name Lisa Black which I will have a look at. "
— Pauline, 12/15/2012 -
" A great forensic mystery that was well plotted, had interesting character development and good twists. I will read her other novels. "

" Not bad...interesting that it took place in Cleveland and they made references to different places in Ohio. "
— Sue, 3/20/2012 -
" Good police procedural. Like the characters and I am familiar with the setting, so that added something. Not as dark as Patricia Cornwall. "
