DESCRIPTION:
Long-time fans will welcome the return after a decade to a first-person narration with direct access to Scarpetta's thoughts. The story begins at the real Port Mortuary at Dover Air Force Base, where Scarpetta is assisting in developing techniques for virtual autopsies, then shifts back to her recently adopted home at Boston's Cambridge Forensic Center (CFC).

My god! Kay Scarpetta is a medical examiner for Pete's sake. She's gott
Now it is a race against time to discover who and why before more people die. But when his body is examined the next morning, there are indications that he may have been alive when he was locked inside the cooler. A young man drops dead, apparently from a heart condition. When the revolutionary 3D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen, Scarpetta realizes that this is a case of murder – and that she is fighting a uniquely cruel enemy. And it is not too long before these new skills urgently need to be put into practice. Kay Scarpetta has been training at the Dover Port Mortuary, mastering
