Description
When successful writer Beryl Madison flees Key West after months of threatening calls and surveillance, she believes she's found safety back in Richmond—until a brutal attack on her first night home shatters that illusion. Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta is drawn into the investigation, puzzled by why Beryl would open her door to her attacker and haunted by the disappearance of her latest manuscript. As Scarpetta pursues the answers, she uncovers connections to the murder of another writer—Beryl's jealous mentor—pulling her deeper into a complex web of motives and secrets. Using her cutting-edge forensic expertise alongside her keen intelligence and intuition, Scarpetta pieces together a body of evidence that reveals far more than anyone anticipated. What begins as an investigation into one woman's death becomes a personal nightmare that tests Scarpetta's professional skills and emotional resilience in equal measure.
