内容简介

A serial killer is loose in Richmond, specializing in attractive young couples whose bodies are inevitably found in the woods months later—minus their shoes and socks. After months of exposure to all the elements, all that remains of the killer's victims has in every case left Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta unable even to determine an exact cause of death. Frustrated that her high-tech forensic skills have apparently proved useless, Kay enlists the help of an ace crime reporter and a psychic whose powers have been vouched for by the FBI.

Racing against time, Kay finds she must draw upon her own personal resources to track down a murderer skilled at eliminating every clue. All that remains to her now is her courage, intuition, and the will to stop a killer before he can strike again.

作者简介

帕特丽夏·康薇尔（Patricia Cornwell）：

美国著名作家，被誉为“DNA时代的阿加莎·克里斯蒂”。

早期做过刑事新闻记者、州法医办公室检验记录员与电脑分析员、里士满市义务警察，曾接受FBI特训……曲折而独特的经历，使她成功塑造出一个与福尔摩斯齐名的首席女法医——凯?斯卡佩塔。

正是到了康薇尔的笔下，“法医”这个幕后角色才第一次隆重走到台前，不但使众多断头无绪的案件初露真相的晨曦，甚至成为一批悬案解锁的钥匙。众多媒体为此隆重报道：“斯卡佩塔和作家共同开辟了一个时代，一个让尸体开口说话的时代。”
