The Death Lover

Dr. LeRoy Haines has just received a woman's femur discovered in the Everglades. His search reveals more unrelated bones.

Dr. Haines recently transitioned from internal medicine to forensic pathology, and is the newly appointed medical examiner for Monroe County, Florida, which encompasses the Everglades and the Florida Keys.

After a python hunter discovered the bone and turned it in, the doctor organizes a search for more specimens, finding two more limbs and a skull. Again, all the remains are unrelated. Who or what is responsible for the deaths?

A breakthrough in the case comes when an intact female skeleton is discovered in the southernmost headquarters of Everglades National Park. The victim is the former secretary of Dr. Clayton Talmadge, chief of pathology at Kendall Hospital, and known for his idiosyncratic beliefs.

Written by a physician, the plot of The Death Lover: Investigating Murder in a New Scientific Era offers fascinating insight into modern forensics. The Death Lover is unforgettable.
