Curiosity about a strangled lawyer leads police doctor Callie Hughes on a bumpy road to the truth. When a lawyer is found dead under strange circumstances, it appears to be an auto-erotic incident gone wrong. However, the situation escalates when another lawyer is discovered dead in his former boss’s pool, prompting Dr. Callie Hughes to suspect a deeper connection between the two deaths. She must wait for the pathology reports before acting on her instincts, but she begins to investigate the backgrounds of both men. Having worked in the justice system, they had their share of disgruntled individuals who might have wanted them dead, and Callie is determined to find a link. Balancing her roles as a forensic pathologist and part-time GP, she risks overstepping her boundaries in pursuit of the truth. Her instincts have proven accurate before, and when another lawyer faces public humiliation, she starts to formulate a theory. Although the police have previously viewed her involvement as a hindrance, they may soon appreciate her sleuthing as the strange events in Hastings unfold. This murder mystery can be enjoyed as a standalone or alongside other titles in the series, appealing to fans of forensic work and crime fiction.
