Description

Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta confronts her most disturbing case yet when five headless, limbless bodies surface in Ireland, followed by four similar victims discovered in a Virginia landfill. As panic spreads and a rival investigator leaks sensational details to the media, Scarpetta realizes the gruesome murders are merely a smokescreen for a far more sinister plot involving bioterrorism and a shadowy killer intent on psychological warfare. The perpetrator taunts her with cryptic e-mails and virtual crime scene tours, forcing Scarpetta to navigate both cutting-edge forensic technology and the treacherous politics of her own agency. With her brilliant niece Lucy by her side, Scarpetta must unravel the true motive behind the carnage before a catastrophic threat becomes reality. Cornwell masterfully weaves forensic detail, psychological suspense, and the dangerous ambitions of those closest to her protagonist into a thriller that proves the most lethal enemies often wear a familiar face.
