et ce qu’elle croit être des hallucinations, Tempe reçoit une série de textos mystérieux. Chacun de ceux-ci contient une nouvelle image d’un cadavre sans visage et sans main. Qui est-il? Par qui ces images ont-elles été envoyées? L’identité du cadavre se révèle bientôt, ne répondant qu’en partie aux questions que soulève cette macabre découverte. Pour obtenir des réponses, Tempe ira jusqu’à se mettre elle-même en danger pour confronter des individus sans scrupules. Sa nouvelle patronne lui vouant une rancune féroce et déterminée à la tenir à l’écart de l’affaire, Tempe commence à remettre en question son instinct. Mais les indices qu’elle découvre sont troublants et déroutants. L’homme sans visage était-il un espion? Un trafiquant? Une cible pour assassinat par le gouvernement? Et pourquoi empruntait-il le nom d’un enfant disparu depuis près d’une décennie? Avec l’aide d’Andrew Ryan et de l’ex-enquêteur aux homicides Skinny Slidell, Tempe aura recours à de nouvelles méthodes médico-légales de pointe pour se rapprocher de la vérité. Mais plus l’enquête progresse, plus l’image devient sombre et tordue. Suite de "Délires mortels"
