Synopsis:

Scarpetta is called home to Massachusetts after six months on a military airbase, learning about virtual autopsies, when the body of a young man who apparently died of a heart attack begins to bleed in the morgue. Was he alive when he was shut in the cooler? As she investigates his bizarre internal injuries, and tries to prevent a scandal, she begins to discover connections between his death and the shocking murder of a small boy, killed when nails were hammered into his head.

With the hunt for the killer taking place over just a few days, the reader starts to feel - like the sleepless, panicked, increasingly exhausted Scarpetta - as if they are wading through treacle. As the temperature drops and the snow falls, nothing is what it seems – even Scarpetta's husband, Benton Wesley, her old friend and colleague Pete Marino and her niece Lucy appear to know things they aren't telling her, and the difficulty she finds in trusting people looks to be justified. At least, she reflects, as she "prepare[s] for battle" the way she always does, "suiting up in armour made of plastic and paper", the dead don't lie.

ENJOY!
