Synopsis

In the tomb-like silence of an abandoned quarry, someone is trying to hide their dirty little secrets...When Special Agent Maggie O'Dell receives a concerned phone call from Dr Gwen Patterson about a missing patient, she agrees to look into the woman's disappearance. At first she dismisses Gwen's fears, but then a graveyard of bodies is discovered in rusted barrels buried in a rock quarry. Is there a link between the missing patient and the horrifying murders? Maggie is drawn into a case that sickens even a seasoned criminal profiler like herself. For this is a killer obsessed with collecting trophies from his victims - prizes he cuts out of the dead...

Perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs & Karin Slaughter.
