The
Body Thief
is the next
book in the Sydney Harbour Hospital Series.

Here’s a sneak peek:

 

A race against time…

 

Samantha Wolfe is no stranger to death. As a
senior forensic pathologist at the Department of Forensic Medicine
in Sydney, she’s lost count of the number of post mortems she’s
performed in the quest to find answers. But something strange is
happening in the Glebe morgue. The number of bodies coming through
with donated organs has surged upwards and there doesn’t appear to
be any valid reason for it.

 

Has the government’s initiatives to increase
the number of organ donors finally paid off, or is something far
more sinister at play? The more Sam delves into the mystery, the
more she’s certain evil lurks nearby.

 

Detective Sergeant Rohan Coleridge is put in
charge of the investigation and he’s not exactly happy about it.
The last time he spoke to Samantha Wolfe, they were both in college
and she accused him of walking out on his responsibilities. Taking
on the investigation means significant hours spent up close and
personal with her and he’s not sure if either of them will walk
away unscathed.

 

But the more Rohan investigates, the more
he’s convinced something is definitely amiss, but is the
perpetrator one of the doctors of the prestigious Sydney Harbour
Hospital, or is it someone far closer to home….?

 

The
Body Thief
will be
released on 27 December, 2015.
