This riveting novel introduces Cal Callahan, former medical examiner, and his wife, Danie, former FBI profiler. Frequent travel and a devastating tragedy spur them to take cases where they can work together. Their first opportunity is in Charleston, called the “Holy City” for its religious tolerance, where bizarre murders eerily mimic a notorious case old case. Wealthy women have been strangled and posed in a sexually grotesque manner. The Callahans face conflicting demands by the police, politicians, and the media. Another murder will happen soon. With a city on the edge of panic, some doubt Danie’s theories. Worse, she is nearly killed. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Marilyn J.
