Synopsis

Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, GA, 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 eager to avoid a scandal -- but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up.

Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim.

From AudioFile:

The third in the Grant County series is set in a small town in Georgia. Sara, the central character of the story, is the medical examiner of Heartsdale. In this story much of the plot is woven around people who are integral members of Sara's life. Dana Ivey does a superb job of character identification through her variations in voice, which provide subtle insight into the characters' struggles. The story is not without graphic description. However, a complex plot and conclusion make this an interesting listen. S.K.P. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
