Features: The notorious mobster Carlo Frankoni was shot to death. Just as his body was about to be autopsied, it mysteriously vanished from the morgue, leaving the hospital coroner and the mayor in an awkward situation. However, Jack Stapleton, the usually arrogant forensic pathologist and morgue doctor, took an interest in the case. A few days later, a dismembered and unidentified "floating body" was brought to the autopsy table. As the unidentified body was routinely transported into the medical examiner's office, an unexpected situation caught Jack's attention—the body not only lacked a head, hands, and feet, but even the liver was missing. With the help of his colleague Lorry, Jack identified the body as Carlo Frankoni's. So, who killed Carlo? And why was his body stolen and dismembered? To uncover the truth, Jack and Lorry launched an investigation.
