It is the week before Christmas. The effects of the credit crunch
have prompted Dr Kay Scarpetta to offer her services pro bono to
New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. But in no
time at all, her increased visibility seems to precipitate a string
of dramatic and unsettling events. She is asked live on the air
about the sensational case of Hannah Starr, who has vanished and is
presumed dead. Moments later during the same broadcast, she
receives a startling call-in from a former psychiatric patient of
Benton Wesley's. When she returns after the show to the
apartment where she and Benton live, she finds a suspicious package
- possibly a bomb - waiting for her at the front desk. Soon the
apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a
deadly plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable
sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionairess with
whom Lucy seems to have shared a secret past...
