<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Part forensic-thriller, part medical-thriller, "Sacrifice" combines both elements to great effect in this atmospheric and original debut.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this masterful debut that starts off as a mystery and becomes much more, Tora Hamilton is an outsider at her new home on the rocky, windswept Shetland Islands, a hundred miles from the northeastern tip of Scotland. Though her husband grew up here, it's the first time he's been back in twenty years. Digging in the peat on their new property, Tora unearths a human body, at first glance a centuries-old bog body, interesting but not uncommon. But realizing that the body is in fact much newer, that the woman's heart has been cut out, and that she was killed within a few days of bearing a child, Tora, herself an obstetrician, becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to her--even when the police, her colleagues, and eventually her husband warn her against getting involved. <p/><i>Sacrifice</i> is a bone-chilling, spellbinding debut about secrets worth killing for that will grip readers from its beginning to its startling end.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The page-turner of the summer . . .
