Description
A chilling thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell. Dr Kay Scarpetta's investigation takes her to the prehistoric age-and alarmingly close to home-in this suspenseful tale. When a woman vanishes while digging a dinosaur bone bed in remote Canada, the only evidence reaches Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta thousands of miles away in Boston. As events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta suspects that the paleontologist's disappearance is connected to a series of gruesome murders and inexplicable tortures linked to the last living creatures of the dinosaur age. As Scarpetta delves deeper into the case, she finds herself questioning those closest to her, including her niece and lead investigator. Feeling alone and betrayed, Scarpetta must navigate a complex web of secrets and lies to track down a killer who is cunning and cruel.
