Sinossi
Kay Scarpetta deve incontrare alla Georgia Prison for Women una detenuta colpevole di reati sessuali e madre di un diabolico killer. Kay è determinata a far parlare la donna per scoprire che cosa è davvero successo al suo vice, Jack Fielding, ucciso sei mesi prima. È una ricerca personale e anche professionale, dal momento che Kay sta seguendo un'indagine che riguarda una serie di macabri crimini che lei è convinta abbiano a che fare anche con la morte di Jack Fielding. L'uccisione di un'intera famiglia a Savannah, una giovane donna nel braccio della morte e una catena di altre morti inspiegabili sembrano essere tutti collegati fra loro. Ma chi c'è dietro tutto questo e perché? Kay Scarpetta scopre presto che questo è solo l'inizio di qualcosa di più terribile: un complotto terroristico internazionale. E lei è l'unica che può fermarlo.

Recensioni
After reading dozens of cozy mysteries, I had a craving to get back to the hardcore suspense thrillers I used to enjoy. I flipped through my To Be Read (TBR) pile and was reminded of the fantastic 'Kay Scarpetta' series by Patricia Cornwell. I read 18 of the books in the earlier part of this decade
I have been a longtime fan of Patricia Cornwell's work, particularly her heroine Kay Scarpetta. The series depicted her as a strong, capable, confident, and committed to a work few people would be willing to do. Her commitment was admirable. However, in this book, this characterization has begun to

I've been reading Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta books for years. The first 8 or 9 novels in the series are some of the finest forensic crime fiction ever written and many writers before and since have yet to beat the high quality of these books - Cornwell included. The last couple of years her b Leggi tutto
I used to really enjoy the Kay Scarpetta series, but books 14 - 16 were so disappointing (and somewhat awful)that I was ready to stop reading them. Because I had invested so much time into the books, I felt I needed to keep reading them. Thankfully, 17 and 18 redeemed themselves for me, so I expecte Leggi tutto

I want to love each book that Cornwell puts out. And I notice a trend that she's gone back to the good ol' days of first person storytelling, which can work for or against her, depending on the interest in the novel. Unfortunately I felt that this one was a little too talky and not enough on the act Leggi tutto
I read lot of glowing reviews about Patricia Cornwell. I guess I picked up the wrong book to start with. I didn't like it and this will be my last book by Cornwell. The writing is so bad, I am sure I will remember this book for a long time. The narration in the first person was irritating, there was Leggi tutto
