Synopsis

La semana antes de Navidad, el desastre económico hace que la doctora Kay Scarpetta -pese a su apretada agenda y su trabajo como analista forense para la CNN- ofrezca sus servicios gratuitos a la Oficina del Jefe de Medicina Forense de Nueva York. Su mayor presencia pública parece precipitar una serie de acontecimientos turbadores e inesperados. En televisión, se le pregunta en directo por la sonada desaparición de Hannah Starr, a la que se da por muerta. Poco después, en el mismo programa, recibe la sorprendente llamada de una antigua paciente psiquiátrica de su marido, Benton Wesley. Cuando después del programa regresa a casa, encuentra un siniestro paquete, posiblemente una bomba, en la conserjería. Pronto las aparentes amenazas a la vida de Scarpetta se entrelazan en una trama surrealista que incluye a un actor famoso acusado de un delito sexual inimaginable y la desaparición de la hermosa millonaria con quien Lucy, sobrina de Scarpetta, quizá haya compartido un pasado secreto.
