Rule of Odds - Fresh Cut (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781683151982)

A Modern Crime Novel by Kris Abel-Helwig

Crime Scene Photographer Quinn Agatha Sheridan determines the lighting conditions when the incident occurred and documents the scene. Her ability to see what others miss, in addition to a knowledge of the hidden meanings of flowers, draws her into a murder investigation in which the killer leaves unusual bouquets on creatively staged bodies. "Step One: Inhale. Disassociate. Open the lens cap door and enter my rectangular world, where the no-longer-living become a stillife, and minuscule clues hide in the shadows."
