Description

The first Dr. Kay Scarpetta novel. A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three women have died, brutalized and strangled in their own bedrooms. There is no pattern: the killer appears to strike at random—but always early on Saturday mornings. So when Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Officer, awakened at 2:33 a.m., she knows the news is bad: there is a fourth victim. And she fears many others will follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to aid the police. But not everyone is pleased to see a woman in this powerful job. Someone may even want to ruin her career and reputation...
