Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman. But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it’s being sabotaged from within—and someone wants her dead.

5By ks9001Second time I’ve read this book. Just as good as 30 years ago.Good read
4By rmh1262Ready for the next book in this series.Stupid
1By DdsssaopJust plain badly written.good start to a series
3By archetype67Quick easy read. Mostly entertaining. I found her red herrings a little two red and obvious for me to have considered them seriously. The forensics were well done and interesting and the major characters were fairly well drawn. Overall a good forensic mystery that requires some thinking, but not overly taxing.Pretty boring
2By IvA84I really don't understand the five star reviews. I've now read a quarter of the book and it is boring me to death. There are to many useless details given and the bla bla about the computer stuff is just a pathetic attempt to be interesting. I don't think I will even finish reading this book, and that has never happened before.Postmortem

5By Something WildI have read every book in the Scarpetta series. This book was my first, and by far, my favorite! - It made me want to double check my windows and doors at night before going to bed!
