Sinossi
È impossibile, nella carriera di un detective, dimenticare il disordinato, incessante movimento delle mosche necrofaghe su un cadavere umano: uno spettacolo orribile che prima o poi un poliziotto è costretto a contemplare. Adesso le mosche Calliphora potrebbero essere un lontano ricordo per Kay Scarpetta che, lasciati Richmond e l'Istituto di medicina legale della Virginia, si è trasferita a Delray Beach, in Florida: un lavoro da consulente free lance, decisamente più tranquillo. Ma gli spettri, si sa, ritornano. La strana morte in Louisiana di una ricca signora, apparentemente per overdose, ben presto mostra inquietanti collegamenti con la scomparsa di numerose donne nella zona di Baton Rouge.

WTF. SPOILER ALERT I used to enjoy reading the Scarpetta stories. The early ones were excellent with great cliffhangers. This one was truly awful. The Wolfman apparently blinded in the last book, is on death row in Texas a few days from execution. He escapes in the most unbelievable way. Then drives Leggi tutto

This was one of the few Scarpetta books that I hadn't read yet, and I must say that it doesn't live up to the expectations that Cornwell set with the earlier Scarpetta books. Not much mention through the entire book of the actual forensic work or investigation. I am a huge Cornwell fan and this one
I really used to like Corwell's books but the Scarpetta series seems to have become more and more ludicrous as time has passed. Perhaps that is what other readers want but the whole thing has become rather silly. Everyone is the best at what they do, everyone has technology from NASA, fast cars and
This one takes about 300 pages to get going; testing my patience, and about a third of that dredging the minds of prisoners awaiting execution by lethal injection in a Texas jail. One of these is Jean-Baptiste Chardonne, of an international crime family; born malformed and covered in hair, who vicio Leggi tutto
