With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest forensic advances to unmask the madman; but this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it is being sabotaged by someone who wants her dead.
Tres mujeres han aparecido salvajemente asesinadas en sus propios dormitorios. El responsable de estos crímenes actúa siempre los sabados, de madrugada, y deja muy pocas pistas. De manera que cuando la doctora Kay Scarpetta, jefa del departamento de Medicina Legal de la ciudad, recibe una llamada a las 2.33, supone que algo grave ha sucedido: hay una cuarta victima. Kay Scarpetta recurrirá a los últimos avances en medicina legal y tendrá que vérselas con aquellos que quieren sabotear su trabajo, y es que no a todo el mundo le gusta ver a una mujer en el puesto que ella ocupa."
