On a quiet evening in Cambridge, Dr. Kay Scarpetta and investigator Pete Marino are called to a crime scene—a young woman has been attacked with brutal force. But before the investigation even begins, suspicious calls from Interpol raise red flags, and Scarpetta’s FBI husband, Benton Wesley, is pulled into the mystery.
For days, Scarpetta has been harassed by a cyberstalker known as Tailend Charlie, and even her tech-savvy niece, Lucy, can’t trace the source. When a second death hits close to home, Scarpetta realizes they’re up against something far more dangerous than they imagined.
Can she unravel the truth before it’s too late?
