This is a Scarpetta Novel. The nightmare begins when a cargo ship ariving at Richmond's Deep Water Terminal from Belgium is discovered to be transporting a locked, sealed container holding the decomposed remains of stowaway. They story careens across international borders with Scarpetta in harm's way.

For the most part, this book is a page turner and I can't believe Scarpetta took so long in realizing that the killer had hypertrichosis after finding out the long hairs were human. I had to restrain myself from flipping to the end to take a peak to see if I was right, which was a first in the series. However, I'm glad I didn't, because the same old redundant, annoying ending happens in the book. It ends too fast and the common sense is completely non-existent.

I also found the author's views (through Scarpetta) of why people get tattoos to be ridiculous and innacurate. As well as her opinion of pitbull terriers. I was really disappointed in the misinformation preached in this book about the species, making them seem to be child-killers.

And then there's Lucy. She's got to be the most annoying character in the book, hands down. How many times is she going to keep having an affair with a co-worker before her unprofessional attitude catches up with her? Of course the same could be said for her aunt, so maybe she really does take after Kay.

Overall, it's unbelievable how I am so hooked on a series even though I keep finding so many flaws in it. I guess it's like watching Jerry Springer or something. You don't want to waste your time, but you can't help it.
