As part of your duties for the coroners job is to determine how a person died naturally or else wise it looks like an accident but the daughter believes it is murder. She believes it is related to a 20 year old murder. The deputy coroner because of his personal interest in the daughter becomes intrigued by the old closed case to see if there is a connection. Soon it becomes one mans obsession for the truth and the truth finally come out. It's messy and resolved but the case still isn't perfect.

Doctor Delaware it is not but is intriguing nonetheless. A lot of pieces have to fall right and they do. The end is satisfying though not perfect.

A wonderful collaboration between authors Jonathan Kellerman and his son Jesse.
Clay Edison of the county Coroner's Bureau is called out to a dead body in a Berkeley home. While seemingly straightforward, the daughter of the dead man insists he was murdered.
What follows is a classic Kellerman novel and it never gets old. And yes, there is a cameo appearance by Dr. you know who.
A thoroughly enjoyable book with no aha out of left field solution in the last few pages but rather a tale for the more intelligent reader.
I hope to see more of Clay Edison.

Another great read from the Kellermans. Interesting storyline and even the appearance by Dr. Delaware. A book I would recommend to all.
