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

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

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