Summary
Forensic entomologist Dr. Nick Polchak volunteers to help identify bodies for the government during the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. But, when he discovers some bodies that obviously have been dead much longer than a couple days, he finds himself the target of someone who is using the hurricane disaster to cover up murder.
Critique
Third in the Bug Man Series but can stand alone. Downs writes a great, entertaining thriller with interesting characters and funny situations, contrasting them with the horror of post-Katrina New Orleans. Highly recommend this series.
