Sound advice for Senior Medical Examiner Dr. Beckett Campbell, considering he was found hovering over the body of accused serial killer Craig Sloan, a bloody rock in his hand.

Beckett has his own set of rules, guiding principles that take him places that the law simply refuses to go. But this comes at a price. Every time Beckett acts on his urges, he leaves a little piece of himself behind... a piece of his soul that he can never get back. Scroll up to grab your copy of the medical thriller BITTER END now!
