About this Event

Join us at Village Well Books & Coffee for the launch of Silent Evidence, a new thriller from author and anthropologist Clea Koff!

Koff walks us through this twisty thriller, centered around a serial killer, the FBI, and missing bones "rich with fascinating forensic details that only a pro could deliver" (Jonathan Kellerman). This is the first in a planned trilogy, so get in on the ground floor of this intimately researched, completely engrossing debut!

About the book:

Every body has secrets. . .

Jayne and Steelie founded Agency 32/1 with one purpose in mind: using their specialist forensic skills to help police solve crimes.

When a bundle of frozen body parts fall out of a van on a Los Angeles freeway, FBI agent Scott Houston knows just where to go for an off-the-record post-mortem. But to everyone’s horror, Jayne and Steelie quickly determine the parts aren’t from one body. The body parts are from multiple bodies.

A serial killer is on the loose. Worse, Scott’s call has put Jayne and Steelie’s lives in jeopardy, as their unique skills can uncover evidence to unmask the killer. Can they find the killer, before the killer finds them?
