Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Leaving her forensic pathology practice in Charleston, Kay Scarpetta takes an assignment in New York City to examine Oscar Bane, an injured patient on Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric prison ward. Handcuffed and chained, Bane specifically requests Scarpetta, and when she examines him, he begins to recount a bizarre story about his injuries, claiming they were sustained during a murder he did not commit. Scarpetta is left questioning whether Bane is a criminally insane stalker fixated on her or if his paranoid narrative holds truth—could he be the target of an actual killer? One certainty looms: a woman has been brutally murdered, and more deaths are imminent. An unsettling truth unfolds: the perpetrator seems to know the victims' every move. Scarpetta, along with her forensic psychologist husband Benton Wesley and her niece Lucy, who runs a forensic computer investigation firm, embarks on a harrowing journey through cyberspace and the streets of New York. This odyssey leads them to unexpected places and dangerously close to home. Cornwell masterfully weaves shocking twists and cutting-edge technology into the narrative, showcasing her exceptional ability to entertain and enthrall.
