threshold of a new life after her work as Virginia's Chief
Medical Examiner has come to a jarring end. At the close of
The Last Precinct, she knew she would have to leave Richmond
if she were to find any peace. She feared that she was about
to be fired by the governor. More alarming, she was hounded
in the media and in the courtroom, for what some claimed was
her involvement in the murder of a deputy police chief. So
Scarpetta packed up her belongings and set out for the
warmth and solace of the Florida sun." "She is settling into
a new life as a private forensic consultant and is deep into
a case that has left colleagues in Louisiana profoundly
disturbed. A woman is found dead in a seedy hotel, dressed
to go out, keys in her hand. Her history of blackouts, and
her violent outbursts while under their spell, offer more
questions than clues about the cause of her death. Then
Scarpetta receives news that chills her to the core:
Jean-Baptiste Chandonne - the vicious and unrepentant
Wolfman, who pursued her to her very doorstep - asks to see
her. From his cell on death row, he demands an audience with
the legendary Dr. Scarpetta. Only to her will he tell the
secrets he knows the authorities desire: the evidence that
will bring a global investigation to a swift conclusion.
Scarpetta, her niece Lucy, and her colleague Detective Pete
Marino are left to wonder: After all the death and
destruction, what sort of endgame could this violent
psychopath have in mind? And could this request be somehow
related to the Louisiana case?" "Her friends and family by
her side, Scarpetta must unravel a twisting conspiracy with
an international reach and confront the shock of her life -
a blow that will force her to question the loyalty and trust
of all she holds dear."--BOOK JACKET.
