Life in a small town can take some interesting twists–especially for ER physician Dr. Rhea Lynch. When the chief coroner is shot in a hail of gunfire that leaves a man dead and a teenaged boy searching for clues to his missing sister, Rhea is deputized as an assistant coroner. Then a mass grave is discovered–along with a killer’s baffling clue. Although she is a doctor dedicated to saving the living, Rhea is suddenly forced to find answers from the dead. Soon her skill and courage put her back on the front lines of the battle she fights best: a race between life and death.
