The anonymous calls indicate a disturbed mind with an unnatural passion for death. Cooper and Fry are hoping against hope that the caller is just a harmless crank having some sick fun. But the clues woven through his disturbing messages point to the possibility of an all-too-real crime ... especially when a woman vanishes from an office parking garage.
But it's the mystery surrounding an unidentified female corpse left exposed in the woods for over a year that really has the detectives worried. Whoever she might have been, the dead woman is linked to the mystery caller, whose description of his twisted death rituals matches the bizarre manner in which the body was found. And the mystery only deepens when Cooper obtains a positive I.D. and learns that the dead woman was never reported missing and that she definitely wasn't murdered. As the killer draws them closer into his confidence, Ben and Diane learn everything about his deadly obsessions except what matters most: his identity and the identity of his next victim.

Sometimes you need to decide what is more important: The pile of unread books waiting to be read or the book you're currently reading that seems to be so much wasted time. I definitely go with my pile of gorgeous books and quit reading The Dead Place half way through.
The book has a lot of inconsistencies. The plot itself isn't a bad one but seriously, all the nice crime scene descriptions won't help in making the book better or interesting.
