A medical examiner isn’t quite the path Austin envisioned for himself, but when a case rolls in interesting enough to postpone date night, he learns it’s not investigating the dead he’s in for…it’s waking it.  Investigate the centuries-old identity of the woman on the table in 2016’s The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
