About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Edgar, Anthony, Creasey and McCavity Award winner Cornwell ( Body of Evidence )
combines bone-rattling suspense with an insider's view of forensic science as
her sleuth, Richmond, Va., medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, investigates a series
of grim murders of young couples. With bone fragments being, in effect, all that
remains of badly decomposed corpses, Scarpetta, Richmond homicide detective Pete
Marino, ace reporter Abby Turnbull and even psychic Hilda Ozimek must employ
their combined expertise--and a good deal of raw courage--to trace the killer.
The case is complicated by the identity of one victim, daughter of Pat Harvey,
the high-profile female national drug policy director and vice-presidential
hopeful, and by the reentry into Scarpetta's life of a lover who is lying about
his line of work. In her best novel to date, Cornwell demonstrates that clues
about character are as vital as physical evidence at the crime scene. Mystery
