About this Item

First Edition/First Printing, September 2003. Hardcover in unclipped dustjacket. 339 pages. The author's debut mystery, exciting as it is intelligent. Some foxing to the top page edges and 1/4" tear to the side of the first few pages and a crease at the 4th page side, this is a very good dj over a very good book. Unread. From my smoke-free collection. Ships in well-padded box.

About this title

Synopsis

'As original as it is absorbing' says Michael Connelly about this first novel of a hospice worker determined to uncover the truth behind the ominous death of a young boy left in her care. When Frances Oliver comes home to find her terminally ill charge,Toms Gomez, being taken away to a hospital by paramedics and a man in a white lab coat inquiring about his heart, she is stunned. After all, his last days were to be spent in her care. As a deathmaiden, Frances' mission is to help people pass into the next reality-just as a baby is ushered into the world by a midwife. But at the hospital, Toms dies under mysterious circumstances-and before his time. Now, with an intricately carved piece of Mayan Jade that belonged toToms in hand, Frances travels to Mexico to find the truth behind her young charge's untimely death.
