He wanted a quiet, small-town career. He got a serial poisoner.
Dr. Martin Hilleman expected a slower pace as Hadleigh's new coroner. Instead, day one delivers a blackout, a missing teen, and the suspicious death of local car mogul Dean "The Car" Mann.
When antifreeze is found in Dean's system, the prime suspect is his new wife, Jenny, who has an unsettling track record of dead husbands. But as Martin teams up with Detective Nell James, they uncover a massive web of corruption tied to the dealership that puts a target on everyone's back.
Then, the poisonings hit close to home. The clock is ticking, the body count is rising, and Hadleigh's elite are dropping one by one. Will Martin solve the case before any more fall victim to the deadly plot?
