Beschreibung
In 1970s New York, a forensic pathologist must use his professional skills to save his own daughter in this ';harrowing' award-winning crime novel (The New York Times). In the gritty seventies, Manhattan is a dark, dangerous, and threatening place. One of the bright spots in this decaying metropolis is Paul Konig. As the city's chief medical examiner, he has developed an impressive reputation for his skills in forensic pathologyskills that will be put to the ultimate test when a dangerous psychopath kidnaps Konig's daughter. Awakened by phone calls featuring his daughter's desperate screams each night, Konig finds his life unraveling, not only personally but professionally. Between the case of a serial killer who leaves a trail of severed body parts in his wake, an investigation into the forensic work on an alleged prison suicide, and a nakedly ambitious deputy medical examiner, he is at the end of his rope, and it will take every ounce of his strength to save his own lifeas well as his family's. Perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell or Kathy Reichs, City of the Dead is a chilling thriller by the author of Crawlspace and a winner of the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere, featuring ';a massive amount of authoritative detail' about the life of a coroner (Kirkus Reviews).
