Her estranged father, the local medical examiner, has had a massive heart attack and Emily is needed urgently to help with his recovery. <p/> Not sure what to expect, Emily races home, blowing the only stoplight at the center of town and getting pulled over by her former high school love, now Sheriff, Nick Larson. At the hospital, she finds her father in near total denial of the seriousness of his condition. He insists that the best thing Emily can do to help him is to take on the autopsy of a Senator's teen daughter whose sudden, unexplained death has just rocked the sleepy town. <p/> Reluctantly agreeing to help her father and Nick, Emily gets down to work, only to discover that the girl was murdered. The autopsy reminds her of her many hours in the morgue with her father when she was a young teen--a time which inspired her love of medicine. Before she knows it, she's pulled deeper into the case and closer to her father and to Nick--much to the dismay of her big-city fiancé. When a threat is made to Emily herself, she must race to catch the killer before he strikes again. Expertly written and sharply plotted, <i>The Coroner</i> is a perfect mystery read for fans of Patricia Cornwell and Julia Spencer Fleming.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Coroner</i> </b><br>Dornbush's debut is an intense, riveting mystery...Readers of Lisa Black's books written as Elizabeth Becka will enjoy this tale.<br>--<i>Library Journal</i> starred review <p/>"If you like small town mysteries, twisty reads or books by Lisa Black or Patricia Cornwell, you'll love <i>The Coroner</i>."<br>--Karen Harper, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Shallow Grave</i> <p/>Fast-paced and riveting, <i>The Coroner</i> by Jennifer Dornbush is filled with surprises, authentic detail and memorable characters.
