ErinMc avatar reviewed on + 373 more book reviews


It si New Year's Eve the last day of Virginia's bloodiest year since the Civil War. Dr Kay Scarpetta plunges into the murky human remains of Ted Eddings,and investigative reporter.What kind of story was Eddings chasing below the icy surface of the Elizabeth River? Why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified? She soon discovers that Edding's murder is merely the first layer of something much deeper-a labyrinthine conspiracy that will put all of her criminal and forensic knowledge to the test like never before. For Scarpetta the real challenge won't be cataloging the growing number of dead bodies,but preventing herself and those she loves from becoming the next victims.
