"What a wonderful creation is Cassie Raven!" —James Oswald, author of Natural Causes
Mortuary technician Cassie Raven grew up believing that a drunk driver killed her parents when she was just four years old. The tragedy molded her, giving her an affinity for the dead and pushing her into the field of forensic science. Now twenty-five, she has discovered it was all a lie. Her father went to prison for her mother's murder—and now he's free and adamant that he's innocent.
Her head full of questions, Cassie begins searching for answers about her mother's death. With help from her friend DS Phyllida Flyte, Cassie expects an open-and-shut case. What they find is that the truth is far more complicated. And someone will do anything to keep it secret . . .
