From a bestselling author, a "hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring" thriller in which Scarpetta receives a message from beyond the grave…(Chris Whitaker, author of All the Colors of the Dark)

Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead.

And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message...

Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with.

The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead’s secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.

As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil...

The twists and turns in plot are masterful and I am glad to see her old writing style is back. Cary’s nasty plans are so tricky I could not figure them out and understand them or how Lucy outsmarted her . Although Moreno drives me nuts I’m glad he is back but Kaye’s character remains true to form and handles everybody with her usual patient understanding. Great ending!

Intelligent blending of UFO history, space exploration, and classic Cornwell mystery

All those 5 star reviews?
I’ll admit this one was a tad different thank God but it was not her best.
I do like where the characters have gone after all these years.
I actually liked this narrator better than some of the others
Good but not great. A little bit back on track which I do like!

I am tired of Marino’s attitude. Not sure why Scarpetta puts up with him. I liked the story and the reader did a good job with all of the voices

I love the Dr. Kay Scarpetta character because she is strong female character in a mans world and yet still retains her powerful feminine energy.

I have been a fan since book 1
