WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now
freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its
back on her five years ago. Richmond, Virginia's recently appointed
chief medical examiner claims that he needs Scarpetta's help to
solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta
finds that nothing is as she expected: her former lab is in the
final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who
requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed
personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent,
whom Scarpetta dislikes instantly, meddles with the case. Deprived
of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in
what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker,
Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a
fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of
evidence--traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify.
She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in
order to make the dead speak--and to reveal the sad truth that may
be more than even she can bear...
