Publication Date: August 29, 2024
Every body has secrets…
Jayne and Steelie founded Agency 32/1 with one purpose in mind: using their specialist forensic skills to help police solve crimes.
When a bundle of frozen body parts fall out of a van on a Los Angeles freeway, FBI agent Scott Houston knows just where to go for an off-the-record post-mortem. But to everyone’s horror, Jayne and Steelie quickly determine the parts aren’t from one body. The body parts are from multiple bodies.
A serial killer is on the loose. Worse, Scott’s call has put Jayne and Steelie’s lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills can uncover evidence to unmask the killer. Can they find the killer, before the killer finds them?
The perfect thriller for fans of Patricia Cornwell
A new duo of forensic specialists kicks off a new series promising plenty of high-octane action and suspense, along with a few laughs.
Author Clea Koff introduces readers to Jayne and Steelie in Silent Evidence. When they were called in to investigate a bundle of frozen body parts that had fallen out of a van, little did they realize the parts would belong to different people.
The story takes a darker turn when FBI agent Scott Houston gets involved, opening the possibility of a connection to a serial killer. Scott and Jayne emit strong chemistry together, which Steelie uses in her jokes. All three of the characters are well-developed.
However, with Jayne and Steelie involved, they must put all the clues together before the killer finds them. Offering plenty of twists and turns based on forensic details, case information, and solid detective work, the end result points to an unexpected culprit.
Silent Evidence offers a fresh set of main characters who will use their forensic skills to help solve mysteries.
