Remains Silent

Married couple Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner and the host of cable TV's AUTOPSY, and civil rights attorney and TV law commentator Linda Kenney write about what they know in this debut forensic/legal thriller. REMAINS SILENT introduces a mismatched pair of protagonists, Philomena "Manny" Manfreda, a fashion-forward, scrappy attorney who takes on the cases no one else will, and rumpled Dr. Jake Rosen, a meticulously scientific New York City medical examiner. The two team up to investigate the antecedents of four skeletons found buried in a field in upstate New York, who seem to have been patients at the nearby, now-closed Turner Psychiatric Institute. The case takes on a darker and more current turn when the death of Jake's mentor, Turner medical examiner Dr. Pete Harrington, from apparently natural causes, is followed by the fatal poisoning of Pete's housekeeper and a break-in at Pete's cottage.
