“From the first page to the last, this thriller is rock solid. Great story, with amped up characters.”
— Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite Series

“With Empty Boxes, Robin Acton offers the reader a macabre and gripping page-turner with a new twist around every corner. Intense and spine-tingling.”
—Annette Dashofy, USA Today bestselling author of the Zoe Chambers Mysteries

It’s only when she ends up in a box herself, struggling to breathe, that she finally discovers the truth about a sophisticated scheme — but will she live to write about it?"

Pittsburgh crime reporter Rita Locke is investigating the murder of a funeral director when she learns he’d been burying empty coffins. Delving into his secrets, she uncovers a sinister plot of international proportions that takes her from western Pennsylvania to an offshore Caribbean medical school, where she becomes entangled in a web of deception that leaves her fighting for her life.

“Like nothing I witnessed in medical school. A gripping, unnervingly plausible page-turner that is creepy, sharp, and disturbingly real.”
—Shira Shiloah, MD, author of Emergence
