Blunt Impact — Lisa Black

OVER THE EDGE…

A construction worker's crushed body. A blood trail leading to a terrified eleven-year-old girl. These are just the first pieces of the forensic puzzle medical examiner Theresa MacLean must solve in her race against the clock. Once Theresa determines Samantha Zebrowski was pushed twenty-three stories off the building where she worked, she realizes Sam's daughter, known to everyone as Ghost, witnessed the murder. But Ghost only saw fleeting impressions of a "shadow man." And the police can't get enough details from her story to believe her…or keep her safe.

Now Ghost is searching the city on her own, looking for clues to her mother's death. And as Theresa confronts unreliable evidence and witnesses to find the young girl, she'll uncover a number of dangerous schemes at the troubled site that could have cost Sam her life. But she'll learn all too soon that the truth is an inescapable trap -- one a psychotic killer has set to bury her and Ghost forever.
