Luke Harding's third thrilling case involves a series of mysterious murders in which the victims seem to have only one thing in common—the same name, Emily Wonder. In the bitter cold of winter, the teenage forensic investigator and his robotic assistant, Malc, investigate the three crime scenes and struggle to identify the murder weapons used, as no traces have been left behind. When a young homeless girl named Emily Wonder is reported missing, Luke and Malc rush back to the slums of London to try to save her from the murderer—and from a giant tidal wave that threatens to destroy the city.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I certainly learned a lot about the intriguing world of forensics,
By
This review is from: Roll Call (Traces) (Paperback)
Amidst the hottest summer on record in a futuristic Britain, a young woman dies seemingly naturally. Though her ordeal was long and painful, no traces of poison were found in her system. Soon after, another woman is stabbed with an unknown object that leaves absolutely no trace. And yet another woman dies in a sauna from an unknown poison. What do the victims have in common? Their name: Emily Wonder. Forensic investigator Luke Harding and his robotic sidekick, Malc, are assigned to the case. Soon another young Emily Wonder vanishes and Luke must rescue her before a wall of water consumes London. The book takes you on a roller coaster ride through poisons that leave no trace, rare diseases, and delicacies that can kill you.
The book was very good, and it is by far infused with the most forensics of any in the Traces series. I certainly learned a lot about the intriguing world of forensics from this incredibly informational book. The book left me wondering until the climactic end. The perilous journey even touches on the science of tsunamis, which shows the book's wide coverage of subjects. Malcom Rose does a superb job of mixing fact with some of the most interesting mysteries I have read in the Traces series. Reviewed by a student reviewer for Flamingnet Book Reviews (...)
