Publisher's summary

Two mauled bodies in the woods. Top secret autopsies. The most chilling cases of Scarpetta’s career.

In this thrilling new installment of Patricia Cornwell’s #1 bestselling Scarpetta series, chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds herself in a Northern Virginia wilderness examining the remains of two campers wanted by federal law enforcement.

The victims have been savaged beyond recognition, and other evidence is terrifying and baffling, including a larger-than-life footprint.

After one of the most frightening body retrievals of her career, Scarpetta must discover who would commit murders this savage, and why.

Super book

As always Patricia Cornwell has written a tremendous book. Like Dorothy’s story line. I would have liked to have heard more about Lucy. Nevertheless still an awesome story.

An In Between Story?

The book is not a standalone for sure which is usually fine. In this case there were so many references to so many characters and situations it was difficult to follow. The “case” was never fleshed out yet it dragged on and on. Too much ground to cover to continue the series.

My 1st book by this author - Loved it!

I don’t usually listen to books with violence but thought I’d try this because of the author’s fame. I was not disappointed. Great pacing and interesting story elements, such as Russian interference and militant dangerous Americans. Very likable characters. I just downloaded another audiobook by her. Recommended!

Poorly researched.

The terminology used by the main character is distractingly out of character for a medical examiner. I would not recommend this title for an adult.
