#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The gruesome murder of a young girl leads Dr. Kay Scarpetta on the hunt for an elusive serial killer in this “ingenious” (Washington Post Book World) thriller.
Eleven-year-old Emily Steiner is dead. She left a North Carolina church meeting late one October afternoon and strolled along a lakeside path toward her house two miles away. Who met her on the path? Who followed her home, kidnapped her from her bedroom, and left her body by the lake days later? It’s a puzzling and terrifying crime, reminiscent of the work of serial killer Temple Gault, who has long eluded Dr. Kay Scarpetta and law enforcement for years.
Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta’s ingenious, rebellious niece Lucy, an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico’s computer engineering facility—until she is accused of a shocking security violation. While coming to terms with Lucy, Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as The Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner’s murder—and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she ever imagined.
