Dr. Kay Scarpetta has never had a particularly happy Christmas. Despite being a holiday for the majority, Scarpetta, Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner and the FBI's consultant forensic pathologist, generally has more work since the celebrations always seem to exacerbate the alienation felt by society's violent edge.
The victim, discovered in a desolate section of Central Park, New York, was found nude and leaning against a fountain. Her apparent way of death suggests a chillingly familiar modus operandi: the exposed corpse, the portions of skin removed from the body, and the gunshot wound to the skull all point to the return of Scarpetta's archenemy, Temple Brooks Gault.
With the help of her competent colleagues Marino and Wesley, as well as all of her courage and skill reserves, Scarpetta must track this most dangerous of killers in her quest for justice and survival. She will inevitably come to an explosive climax amidst the shadowy, terrifying labyrinths of the New York subway.
