Synopsis

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is called to a remote North Carolina research facility — the Body Farm — where forensic scientists study human decomposition in real-world conditions. There, she and her team discover the mutilated body of an eleven-year-old girl, murdered with surgical precision that mirrors a case from Scarpetta's past: the elusive serial killer Temple Gault. As the investigation deepens, the line between professional duty and personal history blurs, forcing Scarpetta to confront both the killer's shadow and her own complicated relationship with him.
