Description
On an oppressive, sweltering day, Kay Scarpetta steps into a case that quickly turns from uneasy to dangerous, as the heat seems to press every secret closer to the surface. When a brutal death draws in two young witnesses and the investigation stalls at the crime scene, Scarpetta must navigate shifting clues and unsettling personal history. As the threat of a notorious psychopathic serial killer—Carrie—reasserts itself, Cornwell weaves a tightening forensic mystery with a longer, looming arc that reframes what readers thought they knew. Known for her meticulous, science-forward storytelling and relentless psychological tension, Cornwell delivers a high-stakes thriller where every examination matters and the past refuses to stay buried.
