In New York City, Detective Alexandra Moreau makes the dead speak. At every crime scene, the fibers, the insects, the DNA always tell the truth in the end?it's her creed, almost her religion.
Until the scenes start coming back too perfect.
One body. Overwhelming evidence. An obvious suspect. Then another. Every trace converges, every analysis confirms?and every time, an innocent goes down. Because someone isn't trying to erase his crimes. He's writing them. A brilliant forger manufactures flawless evidence and turns Alexandra's own science into a weapon against her.
To save the innocent, she'll have to prove the unthinkable: that the evidence is lying?and tear down everything she ever swore by. Because the man staging the dead knows her. He knows her greatest mistake, and he's made her his next demonstration.
The dead never lie. Someone just teaches them what to say.
