Synopsis

Atrevete a enfrentarte a un ser obsesivo y despiadado. Solo una forense puede atrapar al asesino, un ser peligrosamente desequilibrado Atrevete a leer y a seguir las pesquisas de la Dra. Kay Scarpetta en esta nueva e intrigante trama que te provocara escalofrios. La entrega mas reciente de la serie protagonizada por la forense Scarpetta, quien ahora trabaja como free-lance para la National Forensic Academy en Florida. Este servicio le asigna una investigacion que la llevara a indagar en Florida y Boston. Acompanada de su habitual equipo -compuesto por su sobrina Lucy Farinelli, su companero sentimental Benton Wesley y su colega Pete Marino-, intentara dar con la identidad de un ser peligrosamente desequilibrado. / It's not often a crime novel offers such a smorgasbord of oddball elements, including autopsy advice, methods of combating tree blight, the use of spiders in sadomasochist torture and couples covering the sexual and psychological waterfronts. There's even a little nasty fun at the expense of television psychoanalysts. With geographic locations switching slightly faster than the speed of sound, it's to Reading's credit that she smoothes out the ultra rumpled excesses of Cornwell's mind-boggling plot and takes full advantage of the yarn's narrator-friendly present tense. Having given voice to several earlier books in the series, she's got the main characters down cold. Her Dr. Kay Scarpetta is all snarky professional reserve and personal insecurity. Self-loathing lesbian niece Lucy, sounds properly troublesome and troubled, with an added catch in the throat due to a secret she's keeping. Publishers Weekly
