When bodies are found badly decomposed in the Everglades, teeming with bugs, it is an entomologistโs nightmare. With others unable to crack the daunting case, the FBI calls in its brilliant forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red. Faced with the case of her lifeโand an urgent new serial killerโcan Fiona fight back her own demons and solve it before the killer strikes again?
Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
Fiona remains determined to crack her sisterโs case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself...M.F
