Reviews
"The tight plot keeps a local focus, the disconnected deaths are neatly tied together...and there are plenty of stomach-churning autopsies performed with cutting-edge equipment." The New York Times Book Review "An ingenious murder method, more hours in the mortuary and forensics lab than usual, an uncharacteristically muffled killer, and all the trademark battles among the regulars and every potential ally who gets in their way." Kirkus Reviews "The story is nail-bitingly violent and suspenseful, and it highlights Scarpetta's signature survival instinct, brilliant logic and attention to personal relationships."
