A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared ...Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives, Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in ...Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta the investigation of a crime that is as convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would Beryl open the door to someone who brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her? Did she know her killer? Adding to the intrigue is Beryl's enigmatic relationship with a prize-winning author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta retraces Beryl's footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her own.

31/3 - Another great Scarpetta story. I haven't read this one as often as Postmortem, so I don't remember the complete story like I do with Postmortem. As I'm reading a new detail of the plot will come to me just a page or two before I read it. Instead of anticipating each twist and turn of the p...
I continue to expect more forensic pathology from this author. I am now reading the third book in the Scarpetta series and have come to the conclusion that this author is not a Kathy Reichs like genre author. Oh well.That being said, this story was interesting and an improvement over Postmortem. ...
