The world is made up of rules society knows to follow. Doctors cause no harm. The mafia aren't allowed to eliminate a rival on the family's front lawn. And killing cops is not a line one should cross. But with a dead body lying in the street and the victim carrying a badge, my worst fears are brought screaming to the surface. Professionally, I'm his medical examiner. Personally, I'm married to his colleague. These are the cases, I quickly come to realize, that are the epitome of my worst nightmares wrapped up in one tungsten tipped package.
