From one of the world’s number top selling crime writers comes the extraordinary twentieth Kay Scarpetta novel.

A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has made its way to the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. She has no idea why.

But as events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist’s disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the dinosaur age.

When she turns to those around her, Scarpetta finds that the danger and suspicion have penetrated even her closest circles. Her niece Lucy speaks in riddles. Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI forensic psychologist and husband, Benton Wesley, have secrets of their own. Feeling alone and betrayed, Scarpetta is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a killer both cunning and cruel.

Good but not better than others. Too much is required! Why do I buy it and still required to gove a review.

Everyone has been involved ed, and Janet was reintroduced to us. Lucy is still youthful and fun but more severe and growing up. None of the characters feel forced to be involved, yet you can tell that they each have their own lives and work and sometimes feel annoyed listening to Dr. K. As always, it keeps me guessing and a bona ride nail-biter until the end. I continue to read the books in chronological order. I picked up where I stopped on book 8, and they’re only getting better.

The gang is all here
