"Quite simply, one of the best storytellers around."
--Tess Gerritsen
Murders past and present collide in Trail of Blood, the third riveting crime fiction masterwork by Lisa Black to feature forensic scientist Theresa MacLean. Based on the real-life and still unsolved "Torso Killer" murders that terrified residents of Cleveland, Ohio more than seventy five years ago, Trail of Blood is a masterful forensic thriller from the acclaimed author of Takeover and Evidence of Murder that fans of Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Jefferson Bass, and Michael Connelly, and, of course, C.S.I., will absolutely adore.
Back Jacket
Seventy-five years ago, the Torso Killer terrorized a city with a horrific spree of murder/dismemberments. He was never caught.
It would be impossible for the maniac to still be at large--and active--today . . .
A decapitated body has been found in a sealed room in an abandoned building--and forensic scientist Theresa MacLean believes the decades-old corpse is a previously unaccounted-for victim of the legendary psychopath. But the discovery of a second body--newly slain and bearing the unmistakable signature of the Torso Killer--suggests the unthinkable: that a copycat serial killer is following in a madman's bloody footprints.
A long-dormant nightmare has been reawakened as a dark history repeats itself. Theresa MacLean's forensic investigation has opened a door into a terrifying past--a door someone desperately wants to keep closed . . . and will keep killing to make it so.
