Kahdeksannessa Kay Scarpetta -trillerissä Euroopassa iskee sarjamurhaaja, joka leikkelee uhrinsa kammottaviksi torsoiksi.
Kay Scarpetta työskentelee ilmavoimien tukikohdassa Doverissa ja opettelee alan uutta keksintöä, virtuaalista ruumiinavausta. Eräänä päivänä eteen tulee tapaus, joka voi sulkea koko hänen uuden laitoksensa ja tuhota hänen uransa. Nuoren miehen ruumiista löytyy vihjeitä siitä, että mies oli elossa vielä silloin kun hänet suljettiin ruumispussiin ja lukittiin laboratorion kylmiöön. Tapausta tutkiessaan Scarpetta joutuu vastakkain oman menneisyytensä kanssa. Miten tapahtumiin kietoutuvat Scarpettan uran alkuvaiheet Etelä-Afrikassa kaksikymmentä vuotta sitten?

The third novel in the best-selling Dr Kay Scarpetta series
The latest instalment in the internationally acclaimed series of crime novels featuring the medical examiner, Dr Kay Scarpetta.
In this "insistent and gripping thriller" (The Star-Ledger) from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell, forensic expert Kay Scarpetta is surrounded by familiar faces, yet travels down the unfamiliar road of fame. . . . IN DEVELOPMENT AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES SCARPETTA STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS It is the week before Christmas. A tanking economy has prompted Dr. Kay Scarpetta--despite her busy schedule and her continuing work as the senior forensic analyst for CNN--to offer her services pro bono to New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. In no time at all, her increased visibility seems to precipitate a string of unexpected and unsettling events, culminating in an ominous package--possibly a bomb--showing up at the front desk of the apartment building where she and her husband, Benton, live. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a surreal plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionaire with whom her niece, Lucy, seems to have shared a secret past. Scarpetta's CNN producer wants her to launch a TV show called The Scarpetta Factor. Given the bizarre events already in play, she fears that her growing fame will generate the illusion that she has a "special factor," a mythical ability to solve all her cases. She wonders if she will end up like other TV personalities: her own stereotype.
Dr Kay Scarpetta returns to face new challenges in Patricia Cornwell's internationally acclaimed series.
Vangitsevaa jatkoa Vaarassa-trillerille: piirisyyttäjä Monique Lamont käy taas selvittämättömän murhan kimppuun näyttääkseen kyntensä. Kaunis, älykäs, rikas ja ärsyttävä piirisyyttäjä Monique Lamont on edistämässä uraansa uudella projektilla ja valjastaa apulaisekseen jumalaisen komean puoliverisen poliisin Winston Garanon. Lamont uskoo, että vuonna 1962 tapahtuneen sokean brittinaisen murhan takana on sarjamurhaaja nimeltä Bostonin kuristaja. Median kiinnostus on taattu, ja myös Scotland Yard haluaa osallistua tutkimuksiin. Mikä olisikaan parempi kimmoke Lamontin poliittiselle uralle kuin ratkaisemattomaksi leimattu kansainvälinen rikosjuttu?
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Dr. Kay Scarpetta undertakes a harrowing chase through cyberspace and the all-too-real streets of New York City, leading her much too close to home. "Cornwell remains the master of incorporating real-life science into pulse-pounding fiction."--The Philadelphia Inquirer IN DEVELOPMENT AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES SCARPETTA STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN AND JAMIE LEE CURTISLeaving behind her private forensic pathology practice in Charleston, South Carolina, Kay Scarpetta accepts an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured man on Bellevue Hospital's psychiatric prison ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her, and when she literally has her gloved hands on him, he begins to talk--and the story he has to tell turns out to be one of the most bizarre she has ever heard. The injuries, he says, were sustained in the course of a murder . . . that he did not commit. Is Bane a criminally insane stalker who has fixed on Scarpetta? Or is his paranoid tale true, and it is he who is being spied on, followed and stalked by the actual killer? The one thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered--and more violent deaths will follow. . . .
