Summary
“Dr. Harris used to let me see the preliminary reports.”
Sophia did not look up from the body.
“Then perhaps you should ask Dr. Harris.”
Daniela’s jaw tightened. “He retired.”
“I’m aware.”
“So?”
“So,” Sophia said, finally lifting her eyes, “I’m not Dr. Harris.”
—
Detective Daniela Avanzini is used to getting what she wants from the medical examiner’s office. A file before it is signed. A theory before it is official. A little bending of the rules when the case demands it.
Dr. Sophia Laforteza does not bend.
Recently transferred from Seattle to New York, Sophia is cold, precise, infuriatingly calm, and far too good at making Daniela feel like a reckless child playing detective. But when a string of disappearances begins to bleed into something stranger than either department is willing to admit, Daniela finds herself forced to work with the one woman who refuses to indulge her.
And Sophia, who has spent eighty years keeping her hunger, her past, and her heart under control, begins to suspect that Daniela may be the most dangerous thing she has ever let get close.
