About this eBook

No. 1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers the twenty-fourth engrossing thriller in her high-stakes series starring medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta.

Someone is following you...
One summer evening in New England, two young girls stumble upon a body. Forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta arrives at the scene to find a young woman has been attacked with almost superhuman force.

Someone is taunting you...
Meanwhile, people close to Scarpetta start receiving suspicious calls. Could they be linked to Scarpetta’s anonymous cyber stalker, Tailend Charlie?

Someone wants to destroy you...
A second death shocks Scarpetta to her core. Because analysis of the body shows a material that doesn’t exist on earth. And it’s clear that someone, or something, is coming for her, and is hell-bent on creating chaos...

Endless descriptions of how Scarpetta is feeling about every interaction she has, utterly self absorbed, claustrophobic and tedious. Plot minimal and completely linear, and denoumont transparently trailed amd so expected. Not enough content for a book.

Thin plot and an over reliance on Scarpetta's emotional incontinance used to bulk out the narrative.
