HARDCOVER EDITION

I've had this book on my shelf for a number of years and for whatever reason, I've just not got round to reading it. (I think that I'm all Kay Scarpetta-ed out at the moment!)

Synopsis from Amazon:
Against her own judgement and the advice of Benton Wesley and her niece, Lucy, Scarpetta agrees to return to Virginia as a consultant pathologist on a case involving the death of a fourteen-year-old girl. Accompanied by Pete Marino she finds the once familiar territory of her morgue and her department much changed, and the new Chief Medical Examiner treats her with disdain despite the obvious fact that he is in desperate need of her expertise. But professional as ever, she re-examines the evidence and proves the girl was murdered. She also finds trace evidence which matches that found on an accident victim and at the scene where one of Lucy's operatives was attacked. It is not only a forensic puzzle, but opens up the probability that someone is after those closest to Scarpetta.

RELEASE NOTES:

to release at the meeting (but will bring it home if no-one wants it, as it's too good to wild release).

ETA: No one wanted this :0( so it's back with me!
