The mistress of suspense returns with another page-turning crime thriller that has an atmosphere you can cut with a knife...
When forensic pathologist Evelyn James is called out to the penthouse of a beautiful Cleveland heiress, she discovers the young woman's body, violently strangled and left in a life-like pose, a priceless diamond necklace carefully arranged about her neck.
Despite the most exclusive security system money can buy, there is no trace of the killer's deadly visit to the scene of the murder. It's as though the murderer is a ghost, capable of walking between walls, untraceable - and unstoppable.
As the terrified inhabitants try to go about their daily lives, the killer stalks undetected through the corridors.
When another young woman from the building is brutally attacked, Evelyn knows she must unravel the mystery before it's too late.
Author Becka was a forensic scientist with the Coroner's Office in Cleveland and gave evidence in almost 50 trials for homicide.
She brings a wealth of her own experience to her books and Unknown Means is another wonderfully atmospheric and engaging forensic thriller from a writer with an eye for the truly macabre.
