Chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds herself a reluctant star witness in a dramatic televised murder trial that is producing commotion in Old Town Alexandria with the prospect of violent demonstrations in this gripping new chapter of Patricia Cornwell's #1 bestselling series.
Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist, has taken on one of the most infamous cases of her career. The corpse of a former beauty queen washed ashore on Wallops Island, Virginia, two years ago. She was last seen with her fiancé on a yacht; he is now being detained in prison until his trial.
Scarpetta has to serve as the case's expert witness, after a bungled investigation by a different forensic pathologist. Scarpetta leaves the court during a torturous cross-examination by the prosecution, only to learn later that the judge's sister in her case had passed away.
In the end, Scarpetta must contend with a formidable, unseen foe who is plotting the unimaginable.
