LisaBeth0413 avatar reviewed on + 59 more book reviews


In rural North Carolina, the brutal murder of 11 year old Emily Steiner has shaken a small town. But more disturbing are the details of the crime, chillingly reminiscent of the handiwork of a seriel killer who has eluded the unit for years. Into this volatile atmosphere comes Kay Scarpetta's ingenious, rebellious niece Lucy, an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility -- until she is accused of a shocking security violation. While coming to terms with Lucy, Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as The Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder -- and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined.
