The new Kay Scarpetta novel from the world's number-one best-selling crime writer. In Alberta, Canada, an eminent paleontologist disappears from a dinosaur dig site, and at the Cambridge Forensic Center, Kay Scarpetta receives a grisly communication that gives her a dreadful reason to suspect this may become her next case. Then, with shocking speed, events begin to unfold.

A body recovered from Boston Harbor reveals bizarre trace evidence hinting of a link to other unsolved cases that seem to have nothing in common. Who is behind all this? And whom can Scarpetta trust? Her lead investigator Pete Marino and FBI husband Benton Wesley are both unhappy with her because of personnel changes at the CFC, and her niece Lucy has become even more secretive than usual. Scarpetta fears she just may be on her own this time - against an enormously powerful and cunning enemy who seems impossible to defeat.

I have almost finished all of the books in the Scarpetta series. I have thoroughly enjoyed them.
now getting through the JD Robb series...just as much fun. well...quite tense at times but cannot stop listening!
Lorelei King is the BEST narrator for the series and I get quite annoyed when there are other narrators with raspy voices I have to listen to...you see...desperate to hear the content, but then get irritated with the narration (if not Lorelei King)
I will now go back and rate the other ones...all 5 stars...but won't be writing any reviews...this is for ALL Patricia Cornell's Scarpetta books.

Patricia Cornwell series FANTASTIC

I’ve just started reading thrillers again after a hiatus of about 20 yrs.
I used to wait all year for a new Scarpetta thriller and then devour it within 24hrs. Nothings changed although I’ve got quite a bit of catching up to do. Cornwalls’ brilliance has not dimmed at all. She’s still the master (although I have to throw Patterson and Slaughter into the “master” mix too). Cornwall always satisfies my hunger for a great thriller and “Scarpetta” is such a great character; intelligent, knowledgeable, forthright and objective. She’s formidable.
Got to go - must keep reading!

Patricia Cornwall is a legend
