  • "Kay Scarpetta è finalmente tornata a casa sua a Cambridge, dopo l'ultimo difficile caso, quando riceve una telefonata dal suo storico compagno di lavoro, Pete Marino, il quale la informa che il corpo di una giovane donna è stato ritrovato sul campo da baseball del Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ben presto si scopre che si tratta di Gail Shipman, un ingegnere informatico che ha in corso una causa milionaria contro una società di intermediazione finanziaria che l'ha mandata sul lastrico. Kay Scarpetta dubita che si tratti di una coincidenza e ha anche il timore che questo caso sia in qualche modo collegato a sua nipote Lucy. A un primo sguardo, la causa della morte di Gail Shipman non è chiara: il suo cadavere è avvolto in un telo ed è stato composto in una posa particolare. Questo fa pensare che chi l'ha uccisa non sia un killer alle prime armi. Sul corpo vengono inoltre ritrovate tracce di polvere fluorescente rosso sangue, verde smeraldo e blu zaffiro. Tutti questi elementi collegano il fatto a una serie di omicidi a sfondo sessuale perpetrati a Washington da un serial killer soprannominato Capital Killer. La famosa anatomopatologa e i suoi collaboratori si ritrovano ben presto di fronte a uno scenario molto più inquietante di un semplice caso di omicidi seriali, un mondo sinistro che ha a che fare con le droghe sintetiche e la nuova tecnologia dei droni, che vede coinvolti il crimine organizzato e le più alte sfere governative."

  • "The new Kay Scarpetta novel . . . . After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike. A preliminary examination in the sea of red mud where the body has been left also reveals a bizarre residue that fluoresces blood red, emerald green and sapphire blue. Physical evidence links the case to a series of uniquely weird homicides in Washington, D.C., where Scarpetta's FBI husband has been deployed to help capture a serial killer dubbed the Capital Murderer. The cases all connect and yet seem to conflict. Gail Shipman was murdered for financial gain-or was she? It will require the usual ensemble of characters to find out the truth, including Scarpetta's sidekick Pete Marino, who has undergone a drastic change in his life that places him center stage in a Cambridge investigation that puts everyone at risk."@en

  • "À la suite d'une enquête sur une tuerie de masse, Kay Scarpetta reçoit un appel des plus troublants. Le corps d'une jeune femme a été découvert sur le campus du Massachusetts Institute of Technology, à Boston. La victime, jeune et riche diplômée du MIT, est morte moins de deux semaines avant son procès contre la très secrète fiduciaire Double S. Son corps, disposé gracieusement et drapé d'un linceul, est recouvert d'un résidu fluorescent de couleur rouge sang, vert émeraude et bleu saphir. Ces indices semblent lier l'affaire à une série d'homicides sur lesquels travaille Benton, agent du FBI et mari de Kay. Scarpetta pénètre un univers sordide de corruption et de meurtre. Avec, comme seul fil conducteur pour traquer le meurtrier, quelques traînées de poudre.--[Memento]."

  • "Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta has just returned from working one of the worst mass murders in U.S. history when she's awakened at an early hour by Detective Pete Marino. A body, oddly draped in an unusual cloth, has just been discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT and it's suspected the identity is that of missing computer engineer Gail Shipton, last seen the night before at a trendy Cambridge bar. It appears she's been murdered, mere weeks before the trial of her $100 million lawsuit against her former financial managers, and Scarpetta doubts it's a coincidence. She also fears the case may have a connection with her computer genius niece, Lucy. At a glance there is no sign of what killed Gail Shipton, but she's covered with a fine dust that under ultraviolet light fluoresces brilliantly in three vivid colors, what Scarpetta calls a mineral fingerprint. Clearly the body has been posed with chilling premeditation that is symbolic and meant to shock, and Scarpetta has reason to worry that the person responsible is the Capital Murderer, whose most recent sexual homicides have terrorized Washington, D.C. Stunningly, Scarpetta will discover that her FBI profiler husband, Benton Wesley, is convinced that certain people in the government, including his boss, don't want the killer caught."
