Forensic Analyst Clare Rosser has focused her career on becoming a detective, and solving the mystery of her parents' murder. When a series of grisly murders leaves bodies twisted and bereft of fluid in a mummy-like state, one fact becomes apparent: the monster that killed her parents ten years ago has returned. Fighting the bureaucracy of her own police department, as well as her own prejudices and ailing body, Clare must take matters into her own hands before more suffer the same fate. The clues are out there. The answers lie within her. But can she find them before it's too late? FINALIST, 2018 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS
