Every body has secrets. . .

Jayne and Steelie founded Agency 32/1 with one purpose in mind: using their specialist forensic skills to help police solve crimes.

When a bundle of frozen body parts fall out of a van on a Los Angeles freeway, FBI agent Scott Houston knows just where to go for an off-the-record post-mortem. But to everyone’s horror, Jayne and Steelie quickly determine the parts aren’t from one body. The body parts are from multiple bodies.

A serial killer is on the loose. Worse, Scott’s call has put Jayne and Steelie’s lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills can uncover evidence to unmask the killer. Can they find the killer, before the killer finds them?

Reviews

"Irresistible."  ELLE France

"This impressive mystery debut rests on a fascinating real-life premise... [a] remarkably detailed exploration of a heartbreakingly sad but strangely humanizing calling that places its practitioners 'halfway between the living and the dead, helping to work a link that transcended time and space'... one of the most promising new crime series to appear this year." Booklist

"Koff's intriguing mystery debut introduces two strong women [who] do forensic profiles of missing persons... [Koff] paints a vivid picture of the effect of those losses on victims' loved ones. The costs are heavy for those who try to help, but so are the rewards ... Readers will look forward to the sequel."  Publishers Weekly

"Silent Evidence is an intricately plotted thriller rich with fascinating forensic details only a pro could deliver. A great debut." Jonathan Kellerman

"Koff has written a procedural with emotional depth ... [she] fills her debut thriller with fascinating true-to-life forensic details [and] steadily builds the suspense to the climactic twist... Readers who enjoy Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs won't want to miss this." Library Journal
