The first book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1 bestselling
author Patricia Cornwell. 'America's most chilling writer of crime
fiction' The Times A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond,
Virginia. Three women have died, brutalised and strangled in their
own bedroom. There is no pattern: the killer appears to strike at
random - but always early on Saturday mornings. So when Dr Kay
Scarpetta, chief medical officer, is awakened at 2.33 am, she knows
the news is bad: there is a fourth victim. And she fears now for
those that will follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence
to aid the police. But not everyone is pleased to see a woman in
this powerful job. Someone may even want to ruin her career and
reputation . . . Praise for the groundbreaking series: 'One of the
best crime writers writing today' Guardian 'Devilishly clever'
Sunday Times 'The top gun in this field' Daily Telegraph 'Forget
the pretenders. Cornwell reigns' Mirror 'The Agatha Christie of the
DNA age' Express
