The new Kay Scarpetta novel from international bestseller Patricia Cornwell. The body of a young woman has been discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT, draped in an unusual cloth and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer s first strike. As she pieces together the fragments of evidence, Scarpetta discovers that the case connects to a series of disturbing homocides in Washington D.C, yet also seems to conflict, drawing herself and her team deeper into the dark world of designer drugs, drone technology, organised crime, and shocking corruption at the highest level.
