A novel featuring Dr Kay Scarpetta, female Chief Medical Examiner. The electrocution of a murderer and the killing of a 13-year-old boy the same night seem unrelated, until Scarpetta recalls that the boy's body had been arranged in a strikingly similar position to that of the executed man's victim.
