Waterstones Says

Kay Scarpetta returns for one of her most shocking and engrossing cases yet, as two campers wanted by federal law enforcement are found savagely murdered in the Northern Virginia wilderness.

Two mauled bodies in the woods. Two top secret autopsies. The most chilling case of Scarpetta's career . . .

In this thrilling new instalment of the #1 bestselling series, chief medical examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta finds herself in a Northern Virginia wilderness examining the remains of two campers wanted by federal law enforcement.

The victims have been savaged beyond recognition, and other evidence is terrifying and baffling, including a larger-than-life footprint.

After one of the most frightening body retrievals of her career, Scarpetta must discover who would commit murders this brutal, and why.
