Dr. Kay Scarpetta is in New York City, offering her forensic expertise while stepping into the public eye more than ever before.

It’s the week before Christmas—but instead of quiet, she’s thrust into chaos.

As the case unfolds, she becomes entangled in a complex web involving a missing woman, a scandal surrounding a famous actor, and dangerous secrets tied to those closest to her.

With her niece Lucy and profiler Benton Wesley by her side, Scarpetta must navigate media attention, personal threats, and a conspiracy that feels increasingly close to home.
