Their last case has left Ryan DeMarco and Jayme Matson emotionally exhausted, but just when they hope to have a peaceful recovery period, more bodies drag them into a new case.
I loved the first book in this series, but succeeding books have failed to match that experience, and this one was a no go for me. Maybe because the protagonist in the first book was (by necessity) followed by DeMarco as the lead, I've not felt as engaged with the characters. Could have been cut by about 100 pages of foreshadowing and foreboding.
