DCI Max Thatcher is used to dealing with bodies that are a little more... fresh. But a forensic anthropologist is found dead amongst the remains of his latest project, Thatcher will have to examine bones too. To make matters worse, the head of their forensics department was good friends with the victim. Thatcher was already out of his element with this case and he didn’t need additional pressure from a co-worker. When the victim’s lab is ransacked, it becomes clear that the murder was about his research and latest project in a churchyard. Thatcher and his team must uncover the secrets of the victim’s research, whether his co-worker wants him to or not. This book has been re-edited and proofed for errors and mistakes as of 31 July 2022.
