BODY BAGS
"The first day at college, my professor dropped dead. The second day, I assisted at his autopsy. Let's hope I don't have to go through four years of this . . ."
When Jenna Blake starts her freshman year at Somerset University, she's torn about her future. She'd like to be a doctor like her mother, but she can't stand the sight of blood. Her father, a criminology professor, thinks he has the answer -- and sends her to interview for a job with the Medical Examiner -- an interview that takes place in the middle of an autopsy! When Jenna takes on her new job, she is drawn into a web of terrifying disease, dangerous politics, and intriguing mystery. And when one of her professors ends up dead, she starts making connections even the police haven't seen . . . which will bring her face to face with a pair of killers, one medical, and one all too human.
THIEF OF HEARTS
"Why would anyone want to tear out someone's heart..."
A second grisly murder-mystery is unfolding at Somerset University, and Jenna's job as a pathology assistant at the local hospital brings her too close to the haunting crimes. Everyone has a theory on the nature of the killings, including Jenna's half-brother, Pierce Logan, who's new in town and has some odd ideas about why someone would want to steal a human heart. The Thief of Hearts has declared Somerset the perfect hunting ground -- and someone very close to Jenna is the prey.
SOUL SURVIVOR
"There's nothing magical about murder . . . "
Santeria markings. Hindu magick. Druidic runes. Japanese mysticism. The latest series of murders in Somerset has everyone confused, including the local police and the Medical Examiner's office. They seem to be the work of one killer, but each murder has a completely different, ritualized, M.O. Jenna needs to do some serious soul-searching of her own. Her mind isn't on the job. But if she doesn't start paying attention, and find the connection between these ritual murders, Jenna may not survive her first semester.
MEETS THE EYE
"There's no such thing as zombies. I know that. But I also know what I saw with my own eyes..."
The Boston area is experiencing a crime wave which includes both major theft and murder. The problem is, each of the criminals is someone that Somerset Medical Center has declared legally dead -- and who has been buried. Jenna has to piece together an explanation for these "zombie crimes". She knows that there's more going on here than meets the eye. The dead can't really rise from their graves -- or can they? One thing's for sure . . . she doesn't want to find out the hard way.
HEAD GAMES
"They were my friends. I've known them almost my entire life. Maybe they both just lost it, but I have to take a closer look."
Home from college on break, Jenna Blake is horrified to discover that a childhood friend has murdered his entire family -- and he's not the only one. During the next two days, several other area teens experience homicidal rages, but are later unable to explain or even recall their actions. When Jenna investigates further, she begins to believe that someone is playing sinister head games with her former classmates...and with her, as well. Jenna's on her own this time.
