About This Book
When convicted killer Ronnie Joe Waddell is executed in Virginia's electric
chair, he becomes what should be a routine postmortem case for Chief Medical
Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. But after Waddell's execution, the murders continue,
as everyone connected to him begins to die -- including a member of Scarpetta's
staff.
Then, when crucial records disappear from her files, Scarpetta comes under fire
for incompetence. Caught in a web of political intrigue, betrayed by those she
trusted, Scarpetta must fight to free herself from murderous insinuations-- and
threats to her own life.
To save her career, Scarpetta soon finds herself retracing Waddell's bloody
footprints, following a trail that might lead to long-hidden secrets deep within
the state government. Either the truth will set her free -- or unleash upon her
a punishment both cruel and unusual.

Lambs...Cornwell's boldest, darkest work yet." --Baltimore Sun
"A page-turner...I dare you to start reading Patricia Cornwell's new book and
then be able to put it down." --Larry King, USA Today
"A knockout...the best work yet from Cornwell...disturbing...compelling...the
most successful case thus far for Dr. Kay Scarpetta." --People
