Book Hero thinking about your next read

Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up.

The third Grant County novel, from the No. 1 Bestseller.

Can she uncover the truth in time to save the next victim?

A suicide on a college campus.
A tragic case with a simple resolution.

But for medical examiner Sara Linton, it just doesn't add up. When two more suspicious deaths follow and a young woman is brutally attacked, it becomes clear that she's looking for a murderer.

The college authorities are reluctant to cooperate and Sara isn't any closer to finding the answers she needs.

With the violence triggering memories of a past she'd rather forget and the clues pointing ever closer to home, can she uncover the truth in time to save the next victim?
