Remains Silent

Skeleton Justice
(Jake Rosen & Manny Manfreda #2)
Forensic expert Dr. Michael
Baden of the HBO series Autopsy and trial attorney and legal commentator Linda
Kenney Baden bring us a chilling new thriller featuring their crack
crime-fighting duo: Dr. Jake Rosen, world-famous pathologist, deputy chief
medical examiner, and devoted scientist; and top litigator Manny Manfreda, who
is as lovely (and accessorized) as she is gutsy.
The case begins with New
York City on high alert for a most bizarre serial killer—a strange kind of
thief who stalks his victims for the purpose of extracting a vial of blood,
earning him the tabloid nickname the Vampire. As the attacks become more and
more vicious and escalate to torture and then to murder, Jake and Manny begin
to suspect there is a connection between the killer’s seemingly random victims.
But what is the link between the Vampire and a case that Manny’s been working
for a kid whose high school prank-gone-wrong has earned him the moniker the
Preppy Terrorist and an FBI electronic ankle bracelet? Jake’s careful forensic
examinations, Manny’s courtroom tenaciousness, and an unusual clue suggesting
that a high-ranking politician has risen from the grave take the pair from the
bowels of the morgue to the world of international intrigue. At the heart of
this story is a tragic tale of corruption interlaced with cover-ups,
conspiracies, death squads, and dictators who committed crimes that to this day
go unpunished.
A fast-paced, boldly
imagined work from an exuberant new team in suspense.
