Forensic specialist Alexa Glock must solve the most dangerous kind of riddle
Alexa Glock loves solving riddles, using her knowledge of teeth to put names to the departed who might otherwise go unidentified, and bringing closure for their families. But when she’s assigned to a case on Cape Kidnappers, it seems cut and dry. The victim, American CEO Harlan Quinn, was found locked inside his own shelter, apparently done in by dehydration. When the autopsy reveals that he suffocated because someone had deliberately shut off the air filtration system from the main house, though, the investigation team must work their way through myriad suspects. Was it the jealous mistress who lived with Quinn on the estate? The angry environmentalists who resented his refusal to preserve land? His Kiwi neighbor who fumes over the land-grab by wealthy Americans?
Using cutting edge forensic technology, Alexa attempts to narrow the suspect field as the murderer strikes again. Will she crack the case before she becomes the next victim?
