About the book
An eminent paleontologist disappears from a dinosaur dig site, and Kay Scarpetta receives a grisly communication that gives her a dreadful reason to suspect this may become her next case. She just may be on her own this time--against an enormously powerful and cunning enemy who seems impossible to defeat.
Subjects: Women physicians, Kay Scarpetta (Fictitious character), Forensic pathologists, Medical examiners (Law), Murder, Fiction
