Beschreibung

This is the 19th Kay Scarpetta novel from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell. Scarpetta is on her way to the Georgia Prison for Women, where she has agreed to meet with an inmate who is the biological mother of a vicious and diabolically brilliant killer. Scarpetta is determined to hear out this incarcerated woman as she continues in her quest to find out what happened to her former deputy chief Jack Fielding, murdered six months earlier.

Klappentext

Kay Scarpetta has arranged to meet an inmate at the high-security Georgia Prison for Women. The prisoner is a convicted sex offender and the mother of a vicious and diabolically brilliant killer. Against advice, Scarpetta is determined to hear this woman out - she believes she may hold some answers to the murder of her former deputy. But soon she finds connections to a string of grisly killings, including the slaughter of a Savannah family years earlier. She can see a pattern to these killings, but who is behind them and why? As she learns more, Scarpetta is compelled to conclude that this is only the beginning of something far more destructive: a terrifying terrain of conspiracy and potential terrorism on an international scale. And she is the only one who can stop it...
