Valentina Knight, former Doctor of Dentistry, has taken a job with the local coroner's office as a Death Examiner. Unfortunately, she got the job based on a lie. As she seeks to stay employed and learn the ropes, she is thrust into a serial murder case that has her on edge.

First time effort by Mary Bush. The main character is too whiny for my tastes.
