"Gault is back and in a mean way. This book seems more obvious, but don't be fooled... there are definitely surprises in store for the reader. This is a scary one."
Carol Patton, Resident Scholar

"Temple Gault is at it again traveling between New York and Virginia. He is killing and presenting Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta with these gifts. Having access to CAIN allows him to stay one step ahead of the cops and the ability to taunt them with sadistic messages. Kay's neice Lucy, gets one step ahead of him and helps the FBI track him down where the show-down begins. "

"When a young woman is murdered and propped up against a fountain in a New York park, Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects based on the similar M.O. that it is the handiwork of Temple Brooks Gault, a serial killer who has eluded capture for years. Along with Pete Marino, Benton Wesley and her niece Lucy, Scarpetta travels to New York with the hopes of apprehending Gault. The book ends dramatically with a final desperate confrontation deep within the bowels of the New York subway system. "
