Called to one of the most horrific crime scenes ever, Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, tried to hold it together as she surveyed her surroundings. Not only was her personal life in total shambles, after losing the love of her life, Benton Wesley, but her professional life was wavering also. Although she didn't know it at the time, but her next case and the crime scene before her, would change everything, regarding herself, and others close to her. Entering a huge container, Kay found a badly decomposed body, and it will not only cause alarming questions with a diabolical aftermath, but where it leads will make it even more terrifying. While in the middle of the autopsy, Kay had discovered quite a few things, but first, she had to figure out who was trying to ruin her. She not only had a traitor in her midst and under her employ, but someone was impersonating her on the internet, but who? Who had it out for her? Who wanted her fired in the worst way? One of her employees? One of her peers? Her enemies? She hadn't a clue but she was determined to find out. After pointing her in the right direction, Kay was once again, joined by homicide detective Pete Marino, and as always, they went where the evidence led them, in this case, Paris, France. When more murders are committed, both in France and the States, Kay and Marino head back home to Virginia, but when death knocks on Kay's front door, she looks through the peephole and sees the eyes of pure evil and cold calculation. Will Marino get to her in time?.
