內容簡介: |
A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three
women have died, brutalised and strangled in their own bedroom.
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, is awakened at 2.33 am, she knows the news is bad:
there is a fourth victim. And she fears now for those that 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
...
