Ellison (Mira, $14.95) “Eleanor Donavon doesn’t believe her son’s death resulted from a car-jacking gone bad, so she asks his former girlfriend, medical examiner Samantha (Sam) Owens, to perform a second autopsy. When Sam discovers a link between Eddie Donavon and another murder victim, she is drawn into the investigation. As the death toll increases, so does the mystery, until not just Sam, but also Donavon’s wife and children are at risk as well. Tightly plotted and often surprising, this story drew me in and wouldn’t let go. A gem!” —Keri Rojas, Cornerstone Cottage Kids, Hampton, IA Indie Bestsellers Paperback Week of 05.10.12 MASS MARKET ★ ★ = Debut = Debut = On the Rise ★ ★
