Trace Evidence (Evelyn James) by Elizabeth Becka


Evelyn James is a forensic investigator in the Trace Department of the ME's office. A refreshingly 'real' and 'ordinary' character she gets involved in the murder investigation of several young women whose feet haven been inserted in concrete, strangled and found in the water.
One of the victims turns out to be the daughter of her old flame,mayor Darryl Pierson. Suspecting a male nurse who also treated her teenage daughter gets her personally involved and determined to find the killer.
Helping her are two homicide detectives, one of which is very attracted to her. Can they save Evelyn when the killer catches up to her?

Aside from the fact that all characters come over very believable and the story is thrilling enough a very strong point is of course that Elizabeth writers about what she knows and does so in a way that it doesn't bog down the main plot. A great debut!
