Her return as a consultant pathologist in the mysterious death of a teenage girl ruffled a few feathers, yet Gilly Paulsson's death has stumped the best in the business. There is no obvious cause and nothing suspicious except the fact that Gilly shouldn't be dead. Then Scarpetta uncovers trace evidence - Gilly was murdered, but why? For Scarpetta what began as a forensic puzzle expands into a larger and far more alarming picture, but still the vital pieces are missing. Who is the person tightening a noose around her and her loved ones? A real thriller from the expert. 457pp, paperback.
