A riveting thriller that puts the New York Times bestselling author squarely in the same league as Patricia Cornwell and Jefferson Bass, the Locard Institute Thriller series draws on Lisa Black's real-life scientific expertise and her skill in crafting complex and dynamic female characters, as two female forensic experts team up to solve the deadliest and most devious crimes.

The Locard Institute is a state-of-the-art forensic research center where experts from around the world come together to confront and solve the world's most challenging and perplexing crimes. When Dr. Ellie Carr arrives for her first day as an instructor at the prestigious facility, the buildings glimmer amid the brilliant fall foliage on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. But within hours a colleague, Dr. Barbara Wright, is found dead on the floor of a supply closet. Her death appears to be an accident—but Ellie and her new supervisor, Dr. Rachael Davies, suspect a more sinister explanation.

A young woman attending a professional training program then disappears, only to be found in a gruesome tableau. Other than their link to the Institute, there seems to be no connection between the student and Dr. Wright. Although forensic traces are elusive, Ellie and Rachael are determined to find the bizarre link between the violent and diverse deaths.

As reporters shatter the privacy of Ellie's new workplace, she searches old files and finds evidence of a crime that feels much too personal. But who, among those dedicated to justice, could be the threat? No matter how skilled she and Rachael may be in uncovering the truth, they may not be able to prevent a well-schooled killer from striking again.

      As a child, Ellie Carr was shuffled from one set of relatives to another. As an adult, she longs for stability, but a divorce and leaving her job at the FBI have resulted in more upheaval. Her new position at the renowned Locard Institute will allow her to teach and research new crime-solving techniques. But her first day on the job, a Locard staff member dies, and while her death looks like a heart attack, there are some mysterious elements that make Ellie question what really happened. A day later, a student is strangled, and then a bomb goes off in Ellie's lab. The FBI swoops in, and Ellie and her mentor, Dr. Rachael Davies, realize that the Locard students and staff alike are prime suspects in the three terrible events. When the killer threatens Ellie, she must use every ounce of her ingenuity and bravery to stay alive and unmask the motive and the murderer. Fans of CSI-type crime shows, those who relish a twisty murder mystery with a feisty heroine, and readers who enjoy forensic science will like Black's latest.
