Synopsis
From AudioFile The corpses of two young men are found nude and mutilated in a cemetery crypt. On their chests is carved what looks like an upside down cross. Sexual murder? Cult killing? Witchcraft? Forensic pathologist Dr. Samantha Ryan is presented with a number of tantalizing clues in this British mystery. Dr. Sam is similar to Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta in that she helps to solve crimes by analyzing the most minute of clues. Reader Paddy Glynn gives Dr. Sam a pitch-perfect imitation of Roma Downey's ("Touched By An Angel") Irish lilt, and the story moves quickly enough to capture the attention of all mystery lovers. J.L.C. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product Description Northwick, England, is stunned when the corpses of Mark James amd Frances Purves are found, with upside down crosses carved onto the bodies. The police fear that this is only the beginning of a serial murderer's work. East Anglia's forensic pathologist Samantha Ryan is added to the investigative team in order to assist the police into what appears to have been ritual killings. The preliminary evidence points towards nightclub owner, Bird, a dabbler in witchcraft for Bird's fingerprints are found inside the car of one of the victims. Worse yet is the fact that the cord from the doorbell to his club is the murder weapon. The police feel that the case is closed and that they have captured the killer. Samantha is less sure, believing that this solution was too easy for a clever killer like the one they are trying to apprehend. Nigel McCrery has scribed an engrossing tale that will be devoured by those sub-genre readers who enjoy a novel starring a fabulous forensic pathologist.Book Details
