One of the author's earliest novels,the 5th, featuring Dr Kay Scarpetta,forensic pathologist.
Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional for a book of it's age,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation.It really is an exceptional copy for brightness and cleanliness.
Dr. Kay Scarpetta travels to North Carolina to investigate the murder of an eleven-year-old girl, but the evidence does not add up,and she must conduct a gruesome experiment at a remote research facility to find the answers.
But more disturbing are the details of the crimes,chillingly reminiscent of the handiwork of a serial killer who has eluded the unit for years.
Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta's ingenious,rebellious niece Lucy,an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility - until she is accused of a shocking security violation.While coming to terms with Lucy,Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as the Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder - and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined . . .
