Summary:
Summoned from her
promising surgical career first to her estranged father’s bedside, and
then his post as medical examiner when his small town needs urgent help
with a suspicious death, Emily Hartford discovers home is where the
bodies are in this pitch perfect mystery debut.
Recently
engaged and deeply ensconced in her third year of surgical residency in
Chicago, Emily Hartford gets a shock when she’s called home to Freeport,
MI, the small town she fled a decade ago after the death of her mother.
Her estranged father, the local medical examiner, has had a massive
heart attack and Emily is needed urgently to help with his recovery.
Not
sure what to expect, Emily races home, blowing the only stoplight at
the center of town and getting pulled over by her former high school
love, now Sheriff, Nick Larson. At the hospital, she finds her father in
near total denial of the seriousness of his condition. He insists that
the best thing Emily can do to help him is to take on the autopsy of a
Senator’s teen daughter whose sudden, unexplained death has just rocked
the sleepy town.
Reluctantly agreeing to help her father and
Nick, Emily gets down to work, only to discover that the girl was
murdered. The autopsy reminds her of her many hours in the morgue with
her father when she was a young teen―a time which inspired her love of
medicine. Before she knows it, she’s pulled deeper into the case and
closer to her father and to Nick―much to the dismay of her big city
fiance. When a threat is made to Emily herself, she must race to catch
the killer before he strikes again in The Coroner, expertly written and sharply plotted, perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell and Julia Spencer Fleming.
