The new nerve-shriekingly exciting crime thriller from a writer to rank alongside Kathy Reichs.

In plain black letters were the words Anthropological Research Facility,' but it was better known but another, less formal name. Most people just called it The Body Farm.

The victim has been bound and torturer, the body decomposed beyond recognition...

A second body is found. A nightmare is about to begin...

A serial killer is at work and the death toll is rising...

A brutal abduction - a helpless victim is taken...

And for forensics expert David Hunter, it's become a terrifying race against time.
