The new Skeleton Detective novel from A TRUE "MASTER" (Dallas Morning News). "The whole world is Gideon Oliver's playing field in Elkins' stylish mysteries."--New York Times Book Review
Edgar(r) Award-winning author of Uneasy Relations
Gideon is happy to be in Mexico with his wife-until he's asked to examine the mummified corpse of a drifter thought to be shot to death. Gideon's findings reveal that the cause of death is far more bizarre. Then he's asked to examine the skeleton of a murder victim found a year earlier-only to discover another coroner error. The Skeleton Detective knows that two "mistakenly" identified bodies are never a coincidence. But if he isn't careful, unearthing the connection between them could make him another murder statistic in Mexico.
