Kay Scarpetta Series - Book 15

Forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta relocates to Charleston, South Carolina, to launch a new private forensic practice, seeking a fresh start after a harrowing case. But when the promising young American tennis star Drew Martin is brutally murdered in Rome, Scarpetta is summoned to consult—only to discover chilling parallels in a death back home. As she investigates these linked cases, unsettling signs point to an international serial killer, nicknamed "the Sandman," whose grotesque crimes escalate. Personal turmoil strikes as Scarpetta becomes engaged to longtime partner Benton Wesley, stirring trouble with her friend Marino—and the vindictive psychiatrist Dr. Marilyn Self resurfaces with malevolent intent. Haunted by professional challenges and personal betrayals, Scarpetta must navigate a web of deceit to unmask a killer whose reach spans continents.
