#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell delivers
the next enthralling thriller in her high-stakes series starring
Kay Scarpetta--a complex tale involving a serial sniper who strikes
chillingly close to the forensic sleuth herself.It's Dr. Kay
Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a
vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she
notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is
this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and
so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and
Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five
minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with
uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has
heard or seen a thing.In this 22nd Scarpetta novel, the master
forensic sleuth finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial
sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of
copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they
cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in
common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will
strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the
murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta
investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can
discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face
with shocking evidence that implicates her techo genius niece,
Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.
