A Fatal Fire Rekindles An Enemy's Deadly Revenge

Very Good Condition - Light rubbing and minor edge wear to jacket.

Dr Kay Scarpetta is called to a Virginia farmhouse destroyed by fire, where the remains of a body reveal that the blaze may be concealing a violent murder. Her forensic work demands that she recover a story from evidence nearly consumed by the flames. At the same time, Carrie Grethen, a dangerous killer with a deeply personal connection to Scarpetta and those closest to her, has escaped from a psychiatric hospital. Cryptic communications suggest that she is planning revenge. As the investigation and the threat converge, Scarpetta must use both scientific judgement and her knowledge of an old adversary to confront a danger that reaches into her own life.
