This is Burley's first novel and I will look forward to more. This one takes place in a small town in Ohio. Not much happens there....until one day a brutal crime is committed. A teenager is killed and his body is mutilated. It happened after school in the woods by the high school but no attempt was made to hide the body. When Ben Stevenson pulls into his driveway he is met by his hysterical wife, Susan. She tells him what has happened and that the victim has not been identified yet. Frantic, she wants to know if Ben has heard from their son Thomas. They are both scared until Ben checks his phone and sees a message from Thomas' coach saying that all was well. Soon Ben receives a call to come into work - Dr. Stevenson is the medical examiner. There are no leads. Eventually there is another attack - they have a serial killer to deal with. There were twists and turns in the book - and I am glad I went along for the ride.
