Chief medical examiner, Dr. Kay Scarpetta has agreed to meet an inmate, a convicted sex offender and the mother of a vicious killer, at the Georgia Prison for Women. Scarpetta is determined to hear this woman out and continue on her quest to find out exactly what happened to her former deputy chief, Jack Fielding, murdered six months before. The quest is personal, but also professional. A string of grisly murders years earlier, and other inexplicable deaths that begin to occur at a breathtaking pace--all of these are related, but who is behind them, and why? Driven by inner forces, Scarpetta discovers that what she had thought had ended with Fielding's death and an attempt on her own life is only the beginning of something far more destructive: a terrifying terrain of conspiracy and potential terrorism on an international scale. And she is the only one who can stop it.
