Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner and consulting pathologist for the federal law enforcement agency ATF, is called out to a farmhouse in Virginia which has been destroyed by fire. In the ruins of the house she finds a body which tells a story of a violent and grisly murder. The fire has come at the same time as another even more incendiary horror: Carrie Grethen, a killer who nearly destroyed the lives of Scarpetta and those closest to her, has escaped from a forensic psychiatric hospital. Her whereabouts is unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, for Carrie has begun to communicate with Scarpetta, conveying her deadly - if cryptic - plans for revenge. -

There's a fourth victim. Unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to help the police, there will be more. -
Scarpetta IV. At 11.05 on a December evening, convicted murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the electric chair. At the morgue, Dr Scarpetta waits for Waddell's body. Waddell's death is not the only event that freezing night: the grotesquely wounded body of a young boy is found propped against a rubbish skip. The two deaths seem unrelated, until Scarpetta recalls that the body of Waddell's victim had been arranged in a rather similar position. Then comes a third murder with very few clues: old blood stains, fragments of feather and - the bloody fingerprint that points to the one suspect who could not have possibly committed the murder. -

$5.00Kay Scarpetta XIII. 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 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 . -
