One of the bright spots in this decaying metropolis is Paul Konig. As the city&rsquo;s chief medical examiner, he has developed an impressive reputation for his skills in forensic pathology&mdash;skills that will be put to the ultimate test when a dangerous psychopath kidnaps Konig&rsquo;s daughter.??<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Awakened by phone calls featuring his daughter&rsquo;s desperate screams each night, Konig finds his life unraveling, not only personally but professionally. Between the case of a serial killer who leaves a trail of severed body parts in his wake, an investigation into the forensic work on an alleged prison suicide, and a nakedly ambitious deputy medical examiner, he is at the end of his rope, and it will take every ounce of his strength to save his own life&mdash;as well as his family&rsquo;s.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Perfect for fans of Patricia Cornwell or Kathy Reichs, <I>City of the Dead</I> is a chilling thriller by the author of <I>Crawlspace</I> and a winner of the Grand Prix de Litt&eacute;rature Polici&egrave;re, featuring &ldquo;a massive amount of authoritative detail&rdquo; about the life of a coroner (<I>Kirkus Reviews</I>).<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
