Psychological thrillers have a unique way of unsettling readers, and when two masters of the genre collaborate, the experience intensifies. In this gripping tale, deputy coroner Clay Edison faces the challenge of determining whether a death is due to natural causes or foul play. His investigation begins with the death of Walter Rennert, a reclusive psychology professor found dead at the bottom of his stairs. Initially, it appears to be a straightforward case of misfortune exacerbated by alcohol and health issues. However, Rennert's daughter, Tatiana, believes her father has been murdered and persuades Clay to delve deeper into his life. As Clay uncovers unsettling connections, including the suspicious death of Rennert's colleague in a similar manner, he becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth. This journey leads him into the darkest aspects of human nature, where he must confront chilling revelations. Clay's role as a coroner involves listening to the stories of the deceased, but this time, he finds himself entangled in a narrative that sends shivers down his spine.
