Is 263 the ebook page count? Because that's the link you gave. I fixed the description, cover, and official link though.
Yes, 263 is the correct page count. This is an ePub eBook where the page count is different then the pBook page count. When you see the listed page count, it will be the pBook page count which is not the same. When I give page numbers for eBooks, it's for the ePub versions.Please see the following thread to see that indeed, ePub does have non-changing page numbers.

The Keepsake by Tess Gerristsen could use a few fixes.
The description reads like a review. The following description comes from Tess' website. Please leave in the paragraph spaces.
For untold years, the perfectly preserved mummy had lain forgotten in the dusty basement of Boston’s Crispin Museum. Now its sudden rediscovery by museum staff isboth a major coup and an attention-grabbing mystery. Dubbed “Madam X,” the mummy—to all appearances, an ancient Egyptian artifact—seems a ghoulish godsend for the financially struggling institution. But medical examiner Maura Isles soon discovers a macabre message hidden within the corpse—horrifying proof that this “centuries-old” relic is instead a modern-day murder victim.
To Maura and Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli, the forensic evidence is unmistakable, its implications terrifying. And when the grisly remains of yet another woman are found in the hidden recesses of the museum, it becomes chillingly clear that a maniac is at large—and is now taunting them.
Archaeologist Josephine Pulcillo’s blood runs cold when the killer’s cryptic missives are discovered, and her darkest dread becomes real when the carefully preserved corpse of yet a third victim is left in her car like a gruesome offering—or perhaps a ghastly promise of what’s to come.
The twisted killer’s familiarity with post-mortem rituals suggests to Maura and Jane that he may have scientific expertise in common with Josephine. Only Josephine knows that her stalker shares a knowledge even more personally terrifying: details of a dark secret she had thought forever buried.
Now Maura must summon her own dusty knowledge of ancient death traditions to unravel a murderer’s twisted endgame. And when Josephine vanishes, Maura and Jane have precious little time to derail the Archaeology Killer before he adds another chilling piece to his monstrous collection.
The official URL is http://www.tessgerritsen.com/books/ri... The link that is there is to eReader.com and it's invalid.
The number of pages is actually 263.
And finally, the cover's aspect ratio is incorrect. The following image is correct and it is from the author's website. http://tessgerritsen.com/wp-content/f...
Thanks.
