The target is closer than you think
The victims have nothing in common, and there is no indication where the killer will strike next.

You won’t hear it – you’re already dead
Scarpetta tracks the sniper across the country to the Florida coast. Here she uncovers shocking evidence implicating her niece, Lucy – Scarpetta’s very own flesh and blood.

Ratings and reviews

Technical details tend to distract. Both medical and ballistic content seems to travel as co conspirators in a personal trauma. A good read but needed frequent reviews to keep abreast with narrative

Yet another page turner, plenty twists and turns to keep you hooked to the end.

Wordy, long winded, too much detail, like reading a cookery book!
