"It is the week before Christmas. The effects of the credit crunch have prompted Dr Kay Scarpetta to offer her services pro bono to New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. But in no time at all, her increased visibility seems to precipitate a string of dramatic and unsettling events. She is asked live on the air about the sensational case of Hannah Starr, who has vanished and is presumed dead. Moments later during the same broadcast, she receives a startling call-in from a former psychiatric patient of Benton Wesley's. When she returns after the show to the apartment where she and Benton live, she finds a suspicious package? possibly a bomb? waiting for her at the front desk. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a deadly plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionairess with whom Lucy seems to have shared a secret past."
"Kay Scarpetta offers her services pro bono to the New York City medical examiner's office, in addition to her duties as CNN's senior forensic analyst, which seems to trigger a series of unsettling events, including an apparent death threat."

"È la settimana prima di Natale e Kay Scarpetta sta esaminando il cadavere della ventiseienne Toni Darien, ritrovato poco prima dell'alba a Central Park. L'omicidio viene messo in relazione con la recente sparizione della bellissima multimilionaria Hannah Starr. Tutto ciò rischia di innescare una psicosi collettiva, mentre Kay diventa oggetto di atti minatori: dapprima una telefonata, poi un pacco sospetto, forse una bomba, consegnato a casa sua. Qualcuno sta cercando di ucciderla. La sua vicenda personale finisce inevitabilmente con l'intrecciarsi alle indagini condotte dall'investigatore Pete Marino e dal sostituto procuratore Jaime Berger sull'omicidio di Toni Darien e la sparizione di Hannah Starr..."

"La semana antes de Navidad, la desastrosa situación económica hace que la doctora Kay Scarpetta--pese a su apretada agenda y su trabajo como analista forense para la CNN--ofrezca sus servicios gratuitos a la Oficina del Jefe de Medicina Forense de Nueva York. Su mayor presencia pública parece precipitar una serie de acontecimientos turbadores e inesperados. En televisión, se le pregunta en directo por la sonada desaparición de Hannah Starr, a quien se da por muerta. Poco después, en el mismo programa, recibe la sorprendente llamada de una antigua paciente psiquiátrica de su marido, Benton Wesley. Cuando más tarde regrese a casa, encuentra un siniestro paquete, posiblemente una bomba, en la conserjería. Pronto las aparentes amenazas a la vida de Scarpetta se entrelazan en una trama surrealista que incluye a un actor famoso acusado de un delito sexual inimaginable y la desaparición de la hermosa millonaria con quien Lucy, sobrina de Scarpetta, quizá comparta un pasado secreto. El productor de la CNN quiere que la doctora encabece un programa llamado El factor Scarpetta, pero ella se pregunta si, de aceptar, no acabará como otras celebridades televisivas, convertida en una caricatura de sí misma. -- Cover, p. [4]."
