This 21st book in the Scarpetta series continues the
saga of Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, her FBI profiler
husband and a Cambridge detective who previously worked as Scarpetta investigator. Their interpersonal
relationships continue to be an annoyance as they work together investigating
several murders. Could these murders be linked to a technological lawsuit, a
serial murderer’s activities in D.C., or a 20 year old crime. As always, there are misleading clues, scientific
terminology, and autopsy descriptions to wade through.
Even though this is a series item, enough background
is provided that a new reader will not be confused. There are some scientific
terms and autopsy descriptions to wade through.
