Put Crime Scene at the top of your reading pile."--Bookreporter "A character-driven, intricately plott. . .
But whoever came up with the fine line, \'When I meet new people, they\'re usually dead, \' should pat himself on the back."--The New York Times Book Review "A terrific book . . . .
Praise for Crime Scene"You could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out who wrote what.
But this time, he\'s part of a story that makes his blood run cold.
It\'s his job to listen to the tales the dead tell.
The twisting trail Clay follows will lead him into the darkest corners of the human soul.
The closer they grow, the more determined he becomes to catch her father\'s killer--even if he has to overstep his bounds to do it.
All the while, his relationship with Tatiana is evolving into something forbidden.
And when Clay learns that a colleague of Rennert\'s died in a nearly identical manner, he begins to question everything in the official record.
Walter Rennert, it appears, was a broken man--and maybe a marked one.
What emerges is a history of scandal and violence, and an experiment gone horribly wrong that ended in the brutal murder of a coed.
But his daughter Tatiana insists that her father has been murdered, and she persuades Clay to take a closer look at the grim facts of Rennert\'s life.
At first glance the Scene looks straightforward: a once-respected psychology professor, done in by booze and a bad heart.
Eccentric, reclusive Walter Rennert lies cold at the bottom of his stairs.
Figuring out motives and chasing down suspects aren\'t part of his beat--not until a seemingly open-and-shut case proves to be more than meets his highly trained eye.
Natural causes or foul play? That\'s the question Clay Edison must answer each time he examines a body.
