When death hides in plain sight, only the most discerning eye can see the truth.
Forensic anthropologist Dr.
Matt Lowell and his team of grad students don't go looking for death-it usually comes to them.
But when one of Matt's students suspects the skeleton hanging in a top competitor's lab is actually from a murder victim, Matt has no choice but to sneak in to confirm a suspicious death.
Once the case comes to Massachusetts State Police Trooper Leigh Abbott, the team is back together again.
While trying to handle the new murder case, Matt and Leigh also uncover new evidence behind the mysterious deliveries intended to smear the name of Leigh's father, an honored cop, fallen in the line of duty four years before.
When the person behind the deliveries is finally uncovered, it becomes clear that lives are in jeopardy if they attempt to thwart him.
At the same time, as the murder case delves into underground societies and grows complicated when the killer himself becomes a victim, it will take all of Matt and Leigh's teamwork to solve both cases and escape with their lives.
