內容簡介: |
Kay Scarpetta has been training at the Dover Port Mortuary,
mastering the art of ''virtual autopsy'' - a groundbreaking procedure
that could soon revolutionise forensic science. And it is not too
long before these new skills urgently need to be put into practice.
A young man drops dead, apparently from a heart condition, eerily
close to Scarpetta''s home. But when his body is examined the next
morning, there are stunning indications that he may have been alive
when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked inside the cooler.
When the revolutionary 3D radiology scans reveal more shocking
details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen,
Scarpetta realizes that this is a case of murder - and that she is
fighting a cunning and uniquely cruel enemy. Now it is a race
against time to discover who and why before more people die. But
that time is running out ...
