Christmas Eve in Central Park--Temple Brooks Gault stands over his latest victim, washing his hands in the snow. Pleased with his new kill, he lifts the heavy steel door of an emergency exit and disappears into the fetid tunnels of the New York subway system.
In Richmond, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of Virginia and consultant for the FBI, is in the midst of a late-night autopsy at the morgue when the call comes: Gault, the sadistic psychopath who has eluded capture for years, has struck again. For Scarpetta, her worst nightmare returns... And Gault kills again, but the prey he ultimately seeks is Scarpetta, for it becomes increasingly apparent that he is as focused on her and she is on him.
I found this a very easy, on the edge of my seat, read! Very good book.
