Intern forensic pathologist Dr. Riley McKay has noticed
irregularities in autopsies at the Allegheny County Coroner's lab.
Suspecting foul play, she seeks help from Dr. Nick Polchak, the
"bug man" renowned for his ability to solve murders by analyzing
the insects on victim's bodies. Nick and Riley uncover a sinister
link between the lab's director and PharmaGen, a start-up drug
company specializing in genetic research. They also discover that
PharmaGen fronts an underground system to procure transplant organs
for wealthy clients by finding and murdering matching donors. But
PharmaGen learns of their security breach and orders the couple
destroyed. While staying a step ahead of PharmaGen assassins,
romantic attraction develops between Nick and Riley. But the
attraction is complicated by a tragic secret that Riley hides -- a
secret closely tied to one member of PharmaGen's operation which
propels the novel to its astonishing conclusion.
