When the dead are silent, she will be their voice

Mortuary technician Cassie Raven feels a special bond with the bodies in her care, but when somebody she loved turns up on her autopsy table, her job suddenly gets personal.

Cassie's instincts are screaming foul play, but the police say it was an accident - and uptight detective Phyllida Flyte has no time for a tattooed morgue girl with attitude.

But when Cassie is proved right, she and Flyte must work together to find a murderer - before Cassie ends up on the mortuary slab herself.
