Overview
"FBI Medical Examiner Dr. Jessica Coran has an international reputation for her brilliant work in forensic medicine. It's matched only by her cunning in tracking down the world's most ingenious serial killers. Her talents have been requested in Philadelphia by Detective Eriq Santiva, director of the behavioral science unit. A series of bizarre deaths, attributed to a killer known only as the Poet, has rocked the City of Brotherly Love. His calling card is a scroll of human parchment engraved with toxic, blood-chilling pieces of verse. But for Jessica the most baffling aspect of the crimes is that no victim shows signs of submission, or resistance, or even fear." "Only Jessica has the insight to read between the Poet's lines, to decipher his unfathomable goal - and to discover why his young victims offered, so willingly, their dying flesh to a madman. But nothing Coran has encountered before is preparation for what she discovers when she reaches the end of the Poet's ballad in blood."--BOOK JACKET.Book Details
