Description
When a young American is found brutally murdered in Rome, forensic investigator Kay Scarpetta is drawn into a case that seems to echo a string of killings far from Italy. As additional deaths surface—including a shocking suicide and a ritualistic murder in a wealthy beach community—Scarpetta and her team follow the evidence through a web of secrets, privilege, and escalating violence. Blending meticulous forensic detail with fast-moving suspense, the novel explores how truth can be buried beneath performance, myth, and manipulation. With Patricia Cornwell’s signature, science-forward style, this is a chilling investigation into the patterns of crime—and the human cost of getting them wrong.
