Readers of Patricia Cornwell's crime novels need a strong stomach, both for the gruesome details and the suspenseful turns of her plots. With medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, Cornwell created a cool and compelling heroine who repeatedly draws readers back for more.
A reclusive author, Beryl Madison finds no safe haven from months of menacing phone callsor the tormented feeling that her every move is being watched. When the writer is found slain in her own home, Kay Scarpetta pieces together the intricate forensic evidencewhile unwittingly edging closer to a killer waiting in the shadows.
Nerve-jangling...verve and brilliance...high drama...Cornwell fabricates intricate plots and paces the action at an ankle-turning clip.
