The Silent Assassin by Lori Andrews
When a John Doe with a bayonet wound in his chest is discovered in a Washington, D.C. alley, Dr. Alexandra Blake of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology uses cutting edge genetic technologies to link him to a high stakes international business transaction. But her homicide investigation is interrupted when a political firestorm erupts over the AFIP’s possession of human skulls brought back from Vietnam thirty years earlier by American servicemen. When the John Doe case and a decades-old war crime intersect, Alex suddenly finds that she’s a target and the White House itself is under fire.
"Outstanding." -- Publishers Weekly starred review.
"Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, watch out!" -- Library Journal
"Blending elements of forensic-powered mystery, psychological suspense and a Ludlumesque espionage thriller, Andrews' newest is a page-turner…. It's highly recommended." -- Chicago Tribune
