Under cover of night in Richmond, Virginia, a monster strikes, leaving a gruesome trail of stranglings that has paralyzed the city. Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman. But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it’s being sabotaged from within—and someone wants her dead.

A little bit American for my taste (who knew), but if you like that, then it's very well done.
Wow! I'd heard this book was good and I wasn't disappointed. A real page turner that had me on the edge of my seat as it drew to the end. Highly recommended. Will definitely be reading some more Patricia Cornwell books.
Estou numa daquelas fases em que não me apetece e ler este livro foi uma má escolha. A história até podia ser interessante mas depois dos primeiros capítulos tudo se tornou bem chato, lento e só no final do livro as coisas voltaram a ser interessantes. As personagens não são interessantes e não consegui criar qualquer empatia com elas. Embora bem escrito acho que se tivesse menos 150 páginas talvez fosse mais interessante.
