Paperback. Condition: Good. Standard. Outline:- Christmas had never been a particularly good time for Dr Kay Scarpetta. Although a holiday for most it always seem to heighten the alienation felt by society`s violent fringe; and that usually means more work for Scarpetta Virginia`s Chief Medical ExaminerI. The body was naked female and found propped against a fountain in a bleak area of New York`s Central Park. Her apparent manner of death points to a modus operandi that is chillingly familiar: the gunshot wound to the head the sections of skin excised from the body the displayed corpse - all suggest that Temple Brooks Gault Scarpetta`s nemesis is back at work. Calling on all her reserves of courage and skill and the able assistance of colleagues Marino and Wesley Scarpetta must track this most dangerous of killers in pursuit of survival as well as justice - heading inexorably to an electrifying climax amid the dark menacing labyrinths of the New York subway. --> Genre: Crime Mystery-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Berkley Publishing The date of this copy is 1996 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta plays a tense cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer, an old enemy, in her sixth outing (following The Body Farm ), and he has her badly rattled. The story begins as a rotten Christmas for Scarpetta: Temple Gault has struck again, leaving a naked, apparently home less girl shot in Central Park on Christmas Eve; Scarpetta, as the FBI's co nsulting pathologist, is called in. Later, a transit cop is found shot in a subway tunnel, and, back home in Richmond, Va., the body of a crooked loca l sheriff is delivered to Scarpetta's own morgue by the elusive, brilliant Gault. The normally unflappable Scarpetta finds herself hyperventilating an d nearly shooting her own niece. In the end, some ingenious forensic detect ive work and a visit to the killer's agonized family set up a high-tech cli max back in the New York subway, which Gault treats as the Phantom of the O pera did the sewers of Paris, and Scarpetta, stuck with her own family trou bles and involved in a rather glum affair with a colleague, seems to be run ning low on energy. Still, this is a compelling, fast-moving tale. Seller Inventory # RWARE0000009554
