About this book

El cadáver de Theodore Andrew Edding ha aparecido bajo el agua, tras una supuesta sesión de inmersión. La forense Kay Scarpetta se encarga del caso y empieza a recibir llamadas telefónicas con identidades falsas, al tiempo que se producen comportamientos sospechosos por parte de sus colegas, intrigantes visitas nocturnas y molestos sabotajes. Ante esta situación, a Scarpetta no le queda más remedio que encerrarse en su laboratorio y no dejar ningún indicio por investigar. In Norfolk, Virginia, a reporter is killed while scuba diving in the naval yard. As she investigates, chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta uncovers a plot by a fascist militia to take over an atomic power plant.
