Kay Scarpetta Series - Book 16

Forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta leaves Charleston to work in New York City, where she’s called to examine Oscar Bane, a handcuffed psychiatric patient at Bellevue Hospital who insisted on seeing her. Bane reveals cryptic details about a murder he didn't commit and hints that someone is stalking him—and possibly Scarpetta herself. As Kay and her team—including FBI profiler husband Benton Wesley and tech-savvy niece Lucy—dig deeper, they uncover interlinked violent deaths and a chilling conspiracy: someone always seems to know where their targets are. They traverse both the labyrinths of cyberspace and the dark streets of NYC, discovering that the threat is both immediate and pervasive. Scarpetta is forced to confront not just a killer, but the unsettling reality that her own visibility may be what endangers her.
