REVIEWS:
“A smashing debut! This is
grab-you-by-the-throat suspense, written by someone who has
actually walked the disturbing walk of an investigator.
Elizabeth Becka roars onto the forensic thriller scene with
all guns blazing. ”
— Tess Gerritsen, author of Body Double
“The
combination of a credible, likable hero and a bizarre,
chilling story is rare in crime fiction, but in TRACE
EVIDENCE, Elizabeth Becka makes the tumblers click
perfectly. Protagonist Evelyn James, a forensic scientist,
wins over the reader from the opening page, and the
author’s ability to speak from different characters’ minds
is truly astonishing. Expect comparisons to THE SILENCE OF
THE LAMBS and a nomination for Best First Mystery of the
year.”
— Jeremiah Healy, author of Invasion of
Privacy
“Get in on the ground floor of this series, which
deserves to go straight to the top. Elizabeth Becka
isn’t just an expert in her field of forensic science,
she’s a fine storyteller, and Trace Evidence should win her
legions of fans. Characters you’ll care about,
edge-of-your-seat suspense, and fascinating details that
never slow the action — just a few of the reasons you’re
going to love the Evelyn James series.”
— Jan
Burke, Edgar-winning author of
Bloodlines
“Must-read
forensic tale: A Cleveland-based mystery series makes a
superb debut with Trace Evidence, a thriller about weary
forensic expert Evelyn James and her quest to find a serial
killer of young women.”
— Akron Beacon-Journal, July 17
