HTML:#1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell returns to the chilling world of gutsy medical examiner Kay Scarpetta in this classic forensic thriller. Little Emily Steiner left a church meeting late one afternoon and strolled toward home along a lakeside path; a week later, her nude body was discovered, bound in blaze-orange duct tape. Called by the North Carolina authorities, forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta recognizes similarities to the gruesome work of a serial killer who has long eluded the FBI But as she tries to make sense of the evidence, she is left with questions that lead her to the Body Farm, a little known research facility in Tennessee where, with the help of some grisly experiments, she might discover the answer.
It is Scarpetta alone who can interpret the forensic hieroglyphics that eventually reveal a solution to the case as staggering as it is horrifying. But she must also endeavor to help her niece, Lucy, who is embroiled in controversy at Quantico. And Scarpetta, too, is vulnerable, as she opens herself to the first physical and emotional bond she has felt in far too long a time. Tenacious and brilliant, tender and gentle, this is Scarpetta even more realized and poignant than we've seen her beforeâ??in a stunning achievement from a bestselling author at the peak of her powe… (mehr)
I have indulged in this series for the last three weeks. this is the fifth book I have read. I enjoy the fast paced, and well done research to make everything both well explained and easy to fallow. I love the characters and love the way each story adds to the series. I always seem to say this is my favorite after each one. I am extremely drawn to the relationship that kay has with each members of her team and I love her niece Lucy. ( )
Awesome, awesome, awesome....what more can I say. The dialogue was believable and the emotions were real. Yes, the end was predictable, but the action and suspense throughout the novel had me on the edge of my seat not wanting to put the book down! ( )
Los habitantes de Black Mountain apenas conocen el miedo. No hay nada que temer hasta que, un dÃa, aparece el cadáver de una muchacha y se instala en los habitantes del pueblo un dolor más parecido a la incredulidad que al terror. La doctora Scarpetta, forense famosa por haber resuelto casos similares, acude a Black Mountain y estudia los primeros indicios, aparentemente claros. Sin embargo, poco a poco el caso adquiere dimensiones que acabarán implicándola personalmente y llevándola al único lugar donde encontrar información precisa: la granja de cuerpos.
