Because the body Patrick is examining in anatomy class is trying to tell him all kinds of things. And now he must stay out of danger long enough to unravel the mystery - while he dissects his own evidence...

Reviews

"Obvious echoes of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time ... darker and with more twists and coils than a hangman's noose, it deserves to do equally well" Daily Express "Breathtaking. I read this and wished I'd written it" Val McDermid "Contains one of the most startling plots in contemporary crime fiction" Sunday Times Culture Magazine "Bauer's great gift is her ability to surprise the reader... [and] she makes you think a bit differently about the world." Daily Telegraph "Taking the psychological thriller into new territory" Independent
