Reseña del libro "The Diener (en Inglés)"
The embalming machine pumped fluid into her and blood flowed red from the vein. Gradually, the venous blood became a lighter color. Her heart stopped but the machine pumped on. Soon the fluid flowing from the groin incision was almost colorless, like the embalming fluid. He stopped the pump and disconnected it from her body. She could wait in the cold room until tomorrow. He fished in his pocket for the metal disk, tied it to her toe with a fresh piece of string, and stood over his work. His heart was pounding and his breathing was rapid as if he had just run a race. What power, what absolute power, he thought. Something doesn't seem right about the cadavers at the Portland University Health Center Medical School dissection laboratory--well, about one cadaver. Grace, director and primary lecturer of the medical gross anatomy course for fifteen years, knew something was amiss, but she couldn't quite figure it out. She would have to ask Carl, the lab's mortician, to get to the bottom of it. But Carl knows exactly what is happening in the lab. It's where he's disposing his victims. About the Author H. L.
