The Morgue Files: Hawthorn Killer

Working part-time in the city morgue, what could possibly go wrong? Meet part-time morgue attendant and college freshman Tanner Grace in this debut coming-of-age murder mystery as she navigates having a social life while trying to catch a serial killer. Death has been a part of her life since she was a child, her quiet, introverted personality making it hard to have any lasting friendships until she met the fiery redhead that would help bring her out of her shell. Alongside her bold best friend and fellow morgue attendant Lexi Marcus and her colorful, sweet new roommate Maggie Callahan, Tanner's life is about to get turned upside down in a way she could never have imagined. Friendships will be thrown into question and evolve as the girls try to survive their first year of college, both figuratively and literally. A serial killer is plaguing their city, resulting in the two college freshmen and their small group of friends becoming involved with the robotic, seemingly unfeeling Agent Patrick Walker and his team from the FBI. Working together with the team from the FBI, they attempt to assist their new boss, coroner Dr. Audrey Hager, a ragtag group of coworkers, and Tanner's uncle, Dr. Nate Grace, who has come from Chicago to consult on the case as a favor to his med school friend, in solving the mystery of the Hawthorne Killer. Young women were found brutally murdered, and a mysterious brand on the victim's feet, the killer's signature. Can the morgue staff partnered with the FBI figure out the mystery of what the brand is and what it means before it is too late? Follow Tanner, Lexi, and all of their friends as they work together to research the killer's signature, motive, and more in The Morgue Files: Hawthorne Killer.
