Kay Scarpetta has been training at the Dover Port Mortuary, mastering a groundbreaking forensic procedure and it is not long before these new skills need to be put into practice. A young man drops dead eerily close to her home and when his body is examined, there are stunning indications that he may have been alive when his body was locked inside the cooler. When the revolutionary 3D radiology scans reveal internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen, she realizes she is fighting a cunning and uniquely cruel enemy. Now it is a race against time to discover who and why, before more people die. 'One of our best crime writers writing today.' - Guardian. 488pp, paperback.
