DEAD ON INSTINCT
a Dr. Jessica Coran, FBI, Medical Thriller (The Instinct Series title Book 15)
An exciting ocean action-adventure of political intrigue. A suspense thriller wrapped in an underwater medical forensic mystery. FBI agent and forensic examiner Dr. Coran sets off with seventy-foot deep dive, off the coast of Nantucket Island to perform a crime scene investigation (CSI) inside a sunken yacht of a Senator.
Within the eerie and mysterious confines of the underwater sepulcher, Dr. Coran and her forensic team discover more questions than answers. Body of the all-important Senator and his entire family is not the only mystery she needs to solve. Is this a politically motivated mass assassination or a tragic accident caused by a rogue storm? Are they collateral damage?
Even with the help of the famous undersea explorer, Dr. Robert Duane Ballard of Titanic fame (on hand to raise the yacht) more questions mount, as there's no evidence whatsoever as to precisely how the ship went down. During the autopsies, our scientist detective discovers that none of the victims had saltwater in their lungs. Were they dead even before the ship went under? To further complicate matters, the autopsy reveals that they all died of imploded veins, vessels, and arteries.
Dive into the story of this fast-paced medical suspense-thriller and follow the investigation of this cleaver female forensic examiner ready to take on the highest powers, if need be, to solve this murder case.
