Absence of Remorse

Some secrets should stay buried...

For eight years, medicolegal specialist Dr. Quinn Trescott split her time between the emergency room and the courtroom. But since the sudden and horrific death of her twin sister Palmer, Quinn has found herself at a crossroads. Burned out and grieving, she returns to her hometown in Maine to rest and recover.

Ten months ago, Palmer was found mauled on a wooded trail, the obvious victim of a bear attack. The county closed the case fast, a judge sealed the autopsy file for reasons no one can explain, and the town moved on. But as Quinn spends time around the people who knew Palmer best, it becomes clear that the last few months of her sister’s life were filled with secrets.

The kind of secrets that can turn deadly.
