Contains free paperback of Bones of Betrayal! Bill Brockton is exhuming a
body to obtain a bone sample for a paternity test. A simple enough job
until he discovers that the body's limbs have all been removed. Digging
deeper, he soon finds himself embroiled in the massive and very illegal
market for human body parts. He becomes drawn into the enterprise, selling
donated corpses to the postmortem chop shop - in league with the FBI,
hoping to bring the organization down. All the while, his friend and
Medical Examiner, Eddie Garcia, is struggling with the aftermath of their
last case. A massive dose of radiation has left him missing one hand and
most of the fingers from the other. He's on the waiting list for a
transplant, but with so many parts around, Brockton is sorely tempted to
jeopardize the investigation - and his own principles - to help his friend.
Will he be able to live with himself if he does? Will he be able to live
with himself if he doesn't?
