A harmless coral scrape. A fatal infection. A death no one questions-except her.
When a respected attorney dies after a vacation scuba dive, the official story is simple: sepsis from a minor wound. Tragic-but natural. Case closed.
Dr. Jill Quint knows better.
As a forensic pathologist, medical examiner, and independent consultant, Jill has seen too many murders dressed up as accidents. And the timeline on this infection is all wrong.
Someone helped it along.
Armed with a mind for medical detail and a team that refuses to back down-a forensic accountant who follows the money, a photographer who sees what others miss, and a digital researcher who can scrape secrets from anywhere-Jill starts pulling at the threads.
They lead from San Francisco's quiet morgues to the sun-soaked shores of San Juan, and back to the vineyards of Central California, where old grudges and quiet wealth hide motives that go deeper than blood.
What she uncovers isn't just murder-it's precision, patience, and a killer who uses infection as a weapon.
And now they know Jill is looking.
Is this death a tragic medical fluke-or the perfect murder, executed without leaving a trace?
VIALS is the gripping first novel in the Jill Quint, Forensic Mystery series-perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, and medical mysteries where science is the key to the truth.
