Hardback

Returning to her bestselling Kay Scarpetta series after a foray into nonfiction, Patricia Cornwell takes her forensic pathologist heroine into another unsettling tale that blends fast-paced action with skillful character development.
After sending Jean-Baptiste Chandonne up the river in The Last Precinct, Scarpetta now faces the vengeance of his insane brother, who is rampaging through the Louisiana bayous, hideously torturing and murdering a number of Scarpetta look-alikes. As if this weren't enough, she's eventually forced to turn to the demonic Jean-Baptiste in an effort to catch yet another killer; but his help comes at a horrific price.
