  • I love Kay Scarpetta. On the other hand, this book moves a little slowly. And there are so many characters with horrible names to keep track of! I got this as a gift and I loved it, but I probably wouldn't have picked it up for myself.

    

    Is this helpful?

Under cover of night in Richmond, Virginia, a human monster strikes, leaving a gruesome trail of stranglings that has paralyzed the city. Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman. But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it's being sabotaged from within and someone wants her dead.
