The fourth book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell. 'America's most chilling writer of crime fiction' The Times The fingerprints say the murderer is the man who's just been executed . . . At 11.05 one December evening in Richmond, Virginia, convicted murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the electric chair. At the morgue Dr Kay Scarpetta waits for Waddell's body. Preparing to perform a post-mortem before the subject is dead is a strange feeling, but Scarpetta has been here before. And Waddell's death is not the only newsworthy event on this freezing night: the grotesquely wounded body of a young boy is found propped against a rubbish skip. To Scarpetta the two cases seem unrelated, until she recalls that the body of Waddell's victim had been arranged in a strikingly similar position . . . Praise for the groundbreaking series: 'One of the best crime writers writing today' Guardian 'Devilishly clever' Sunday Times 'The top gun in this field' Daily Telegraph 'Forget the pretenders. Cornwell reigns' Mirror 'The Agatha Christie of the DNA age' Express

Unusual ending
This was a great story-so typical of Patricia
Cornwell; the suspense kept me turning
pages as fast as I could read them. The
ending was a complete surprise to me. I
would recommend this book to anyone who
loves a great mystery!

Loved It!
This is definitely my favorite of the Scarpetta series. It is gripping and kept me guessing- exactly what I like in a mystery novel. I couldn't put it down, and have read it twice already!
