THIS SERIES IS NOT TO BE MISSEDTHE GUARDIAN

Camden mortuary technician Cassie Raven is back and embroiled in a brand-new gripping forensic mystery. Perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen, Patricia Cornwell, and Kathy Reichs.

One little push is all it takes . . .

Mortuary technician Cassie Raven is shocked to find the body of Bronte, a talented singer on the brink of stardom, in her fridge. The two of them were once schoolmates, although not exactly friends . . .

The police say Bronte jumped from her tenth-floor apartment, but Cassie's instincts are telling her it's murder. The death ignites a social media frenzy, and when police watchdog Phyllida Flyte is sent in to assess the handling of the case she is the only one willing to listen to Cassie.

They join forces, but as Cassie delves dangerously deep into Bronte's personal history, more blood must be shed before the terrible truth is exposed.
