About this ebook

A new title in the Alexa Glock Forensics Mysteries. When bodies wash up on the beach, is man or animal the culprit? It'll take everything forensic specialist Alexa Glock has to seek out the truth. Because lips may lie, but teeth never do...

These thrilling New Zealand mysteries are:

  • Perfect for Fans of Kathy Reichs and Candice Fox
  • For readers of forensic mysteries and international mysteries
  • For lovers of police procedurals and marine science

At first, Alexa Glock's initial case as a traveling forensic investigator seems straightforward—her expertise in teeth helps her identify the skeletal remains of a hunter found on the remote Stewart Island in New Zealand. But when she realizes the bullet lodged in his skull was not self-inflicted, and then a second, shark-ravaged body washes up on Ringaringa Beach, it's clear that something dangerous is lurking in the beautiful waters surrounding the island.

The disturbing sight seems to confirm what locals have hashed out in the pub: shark cage-diving, lucrative for owners and popular with tourists, has changed the great white sharks' behavior, turning them into man-eaters. Tensions between cagers and locals mount as Alexa—christened the "shark lady"—dives into the harrowing case. While measuring bite patterns, she makes a shocking discovery that just might lead her to who—or what—is behind both deaths.

Alexa Glock, an expert in teeth and bones, finds herself playing shark detective in the newest book of Sara E. Johnson's acclaimed forensic mysteries. But she'll soon learn that there are dark things lurking beneath the water, something far worse than a natural born predator...

procedural, New Zealand, forensics, law-enforcement, PTSD, cultural-exploration, cultural-assimilation, murder, murder-investigation, dental This one is even better than the first! Alexa is a forensic odontologist from the US working and continuing to study in New Zealand. She continues to learn the customs and also the idioms used which are different from what she grew up with. The first body is months old, but the forensics need doing and she is even able to arrange for an unofficial autopsy to be done by a qualified tourist. The main learning I took from this is a lot of marine biology, Maori customs related to marine life, local unemployment factors complicated by short sighted and shady business practices. My nose was glued to the pages! The due diligence nearly costs her life on more than one occasion and she comes into contact with an aggravated Great White Shark! I love the realistic detailing of this beautiful country including sand flies and violent weather. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you!
