Publisher's summary

#1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell returns to the chilling world of gutsy medical examiner Kay Scarpetta in this classic forensic thriller.

An unidentified nude female sits propped against a fountain in Central Park. There are no signs of struggle. When Dr. Kay Scarpetta and her colleagues Benton Wesley and Pete Marino arrive on the scene, they instantly recognize the signature of serial killer Temple Brooks Gault. Scarpetta, on assignment with the FBI, visits the New York City morgue on Christmas morning, where she must use her forensic expertise to give a name to the nameless—a difficult task. But as she sorts through conflicting forensic clues, Gault claims his next victim. He has infiltrated the FBI’s top secret artificial-intelligence system developed by Scarpetta’s niece, and sends taunting messages as his butchery continues, moving terrifyingly closer to Scarpetta herself.

Not a New Release

I ❤️ Kay! This is an older book. Marino uses a pager, Benton is married to his first wife.

A completely evil villain!

This book concludes a man hunt for a villain who seems evil incarnate. There are so many "identities" this villain assumes that it looks as though he would never be caught. A mystery till the last page! A favorite!

The detail in her writing.

I love her description of Capt Pete Marino. I’m a retired cop and have worked with or known several Mariano’s over the years. Good cops with very bad manners and never afraid to show it. I could even put myself there at times.

Pete’s “rocky” accent

Pete Moeno’s “rocky” accent I found irritating. One can do a Bronx accent & be authentic NYer yet not sound totally stupid.
