DESCRIPTION:
Stapleton agrees, but what should be a routine forensic exercise quickly turns into a dangerous trail of lies, deception and murder. Bowman's wife asks her brother, medical examiner Dr. Jack Stapleton, to use his expertise to help with her husband's defense. Fans of Cook's writing should enjoy this dignified presentation. From Publishers Weekly Guidall's experienced reading brings a pleasant touch of class to Cook's latest thriller.

Amazon Customer said I give MYSELF 5 stars for endurance. Everything Janet Boyer stated PLUS:I was a captive audience. I was in a car for over a week listening to this book. Had I not listened to this book and read it instead, I probably would have given up on it; it's god-awful. Extremely boring. Very talky. Cook will describe something, and then follow it up with a blow-by-blow discussion between characters. He apparently doesn't believe in summarizing conversations or incidents. He provides far too much detail where it doesn't matter.Robin, we don't care that the clerk in the store's name was Jack . A. Perla said Five Stars. Excellent! Robin cook suspense master did it again.. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. Very interesting. Lot's of medical terms.
