Publisher's Synopsis
The pile of infant skulls unearthed near police headquarters is horrifying. Although most are prehistoric, there is one that is certainly more recent. To John Coffin, Chief Commander, even more horrifying is the inexplicable triple murder of a midwife and her two daughters. A further murder seems to connect the two investigations and when other apparently random acts of violence occur, including the death of a chief suspect, the picture gets increasingly confused. For Coffin time is running out: the body count is rising and he needs to find a solution fast.
