Skin And Bone by Kathryn Fox
Just back from stress leave, Detective Kate Farrer's attends a brutal crime scene. The charred corpse of a young woman, burned beyond recognition, smolders on a bed near a bag full of baby items. Autopsy reveals that the victim had recently given birth. Yet no child has been found. Teamed with a new partner, Oliver Parke, Kate struggles to hold her own demons at bay - while also pursuing leads in the seemingly unrelated affair of a missing teenager who was keeping secrets that may have cost her her life. But as disturbing clues begin linking the two investigations - and another unspeakably cruel murder secures the knot - Kate and Oliver realize, with horror, that a desperate killer's next victim might be the most innocent one of all.
"Well-constructed and strikingly written...brims with forensic and procedural detail and psychological suspense" The Age
"Fox strews just enough clues to keep readers guessing, then twists the plot assuredly. Both Farrer and Parke are delightful turns on the standard "veteran and rookie" buddy pairing, as Oliver demonstrates fresh ideas and reasoning that make him an excellent counterpart for Kate's cynicism and experience. Fox ties several story lines together deftly, and the forensics enrich the story." -- Publishers Weekly
