Publisher's Synopsis
Laine knew Mary Barnes' murder would not be an ordinary investigation. The bloody X carved into her was the sign of something more than a simple crime. Serial killer? No, much worse. What Laine didn't expect was the wicked world a girl like Mary would be enmeshed in. Or her dalliance with a mysterious doctor-whose private hospital housed a most degenerate operation. A black market where the price of an infant's flesh was worth more than its mother's life!
