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...
