This thrilling follow-up to Post Mortem takes us on Dr Kay Scarpetta's criminal investigations once more.
When two rival novelists (engaged in a legal battle) are brutally slain at the hands of a deranged individual, Kay and her trusted sidekick, Det Marino, find themselves travelling to Miami, Quantico, and Richmond. Never one to separate herself from her patients; Kay finds herself the latest subject in the killers' reign of terror.
In a race against time, Kay must deal with internal investigations, missing manuscripts, a labyrinth for a love life, and survive the long winter nights of bloodshed and violence. Will Dr Scarpetta see the sunshine of spring?
TW⚠️ this book contains strong language, sexual assault, grooming, mentions of paedophillia, scenes of violence, gore and outdated language involving sexuality and mental health.
