What Harms You is Book #2 in Lisa Black’s Locard Institute Thriller Series.
As always Lisa’s writing is stellar and as a real life forensic scientist she brings the A-game to this series about two crime fighting experts. This is the second book to feature Dr. Ellie Carr and Dr. Rachael Davies. They are a dynamic duo who have different personalities, but the same goal.
In the first book in the series, Red Flag, we were introduced to Ellie, who comes from a large family, and Rachel, who is raising a child on her own. Lisa Black skillfully builds their backstories as readers are immersed in the world of forensic science.
New York Times bestselling author, Lisa Black, pulls out all the stops with this exciting story about a serial killer who just might be a student at the Locard Institute.
About the book:
A riveting thriller that puts the New York Times bestselling author squarely in the same league as Patricia Cornwell and Jefferson Bass, the Locard Institute Thriller series draws on Lisa Black’s real-life scientific expertise and her skill in crafting complex and dynamic female characters, as two female forensic experts team up to solve the deadliest and most devious crimes.
The Locard Institute is a state-of-the-art forensic research center where experts from around the world come together to confront and solve the world’s most challenging and perplexing crimes. When Dr. Ellie Carr arrives for her first day as an instructor at the prestigious facility, the buildings glimmer amid the brilliant fall foliage on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. But within hours a colleague, Dr. Barbara Wright, is found dead on the floor of a supply closet. Her death appears to be an accident—but Ellie and her new supervisor, Dr. Rachael Davies, suspect a more sinister explanation.
