The team is informed of another body that had been found weeks ago but the similarities were striking. Unlike Evan she was of Amazonian proportions but also gifted with a brilliant mind. His grad student assistant, Dianna, was another wonderful character. Evan is, of course, secretly in love with Addie but would never admit it or presume anything in that regard but her every wish is his command. So Evan is asked to consult on the case to help interpret the runes. He also has a brilliant mind and some their verbal exchanges were like music to my ears. Addie is the typical career driven detective but she feels deeply any slights aimed at Evan because he is a dwarf. These two characters were so endearing and their interactions were wonderfully written. Detective Adrianne (Addie) Bisset knows immediately she needs the help of her good friend and forensic semiotician Dr Evan Wilding. But this book was something else altogether, I thought it was brilliant!Ī man’s body is found on the banks of a river in Chicago very strangely posed and with a series of wooden slats around his head inscribed with runes. Then she joined the Denver railway police. Parnell had served in Iraq and came back home with her K-9 partner Clyde and PTSD. Barbara Nickless wrote the excellent Sydney Rose Parnell series which I enjoyed immensely.
