When the coroner in Baton Rouge asks her advice on a cold case concerning an affluent woman found dead of a drug overdose in a seedy hotel, it seems little more than a diversion. Yet it becomes clear that the overdose may be related to a fresh string of serial killings. Also disturbing Scarpetta's somber peace is a troubling letter from someone out to kill her, the sick and obsessed death-row inmate Jean-Baptiste. When Scarpetta is at last allowed to get back to business, she is a feisty, independent powerhouse whose capacity to concentrate and observe rivals Sherlock Holmes's.

Just caught the book so I can't rate it yet. My son found it at Paneras (137th Ave. & Kendall Dr.) while looking through a newspaper basket. Looking forward to the read and will comment when I'm through. Will probably drop at the same location. Thanks!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

I found this book about a month ago at this same location (Panera Bread, 137th Ave. & Kendall Dr.). I read to about p. 100 but it just wasn't for me. However, if you like murder/suspense/mystery books and are a Patricia Cromwell/Kay Scarpetta fan, then you're in luck!

I saw this book at Panera Bread tonight, but it's not my type of book so I left it in the basket.
