The second book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1 bestselling author
Patricia Cornwell.
'America's most chilling writer of crime fiction' The Times
A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared . . .
Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes
threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but
eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives,
Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in . . .
Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta the investigation of a crime that is as
convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would Beryl open the door to someone who
brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her? Did she know her killer?
Adding to the intrigue is Beryl's enigmatic relationship with a prize-winning
author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta retraces
Beryl's footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with
microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her
own.
Praise for the groundbreaking series:
'One of the best crime writers writing today' Guardian
'Devilishly clever' Sunday Times
