-- Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite Series
With Empty Boxes, Robin Acton offers the reader a macabre and gripping page-turner with a new twist around every corner. Intense and spine-tingling.
It's only when she ends up in a box herself, struggling to breathe, that she finally discovers the truth about a sophisticated scheme -- but will she live to write about it?
Pittsburgh crime reporter Rita Locke is investigating the murder of a funeral director when she learns he'd been burying empty coffins. Delving into his secrets, she uncovers a sinister plot of international proportions that takes her from western Pennsylvania to an offshore Caribbean medical school, where she becomes entangled in a web of deception that leaves her fighting for her life.
Like nothing I witnessed in medical school. A gripping, unnervingly plausible page-turner that is creepy, sharp, and disturbingly real.
--Shira Shiloah, MD, author of Emergence
