Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of Virginia and heroine of Postmortem, gets involved in the brutal stabbing death of romance writer Beryl Madison. Now Madison's greedy lawyer accuses Scarpetta of losing his client's latest manuscript,an autobiographical expose of Beryl's early life as protege of a legendary novelist/ As more deaths occur and the killer closes in on her, Kay suffers palpitations over the sudden and devious appearance of long-lost lover Mark but still finds time to provide forensic details.

Great read, gripping.
