Kay Scarpetta comes roaring back, and I love it! She is in the middle of much controversy, as usual, but doesn’t compromise her principles. Is there murder and mayhem? Of course. And she gets to work with her husband, Benton, which is always a bonus. Lucy and Marino are front and center, as well. The writing, the action, the mysterious “weapon”, terrorists, secrets, government agencies, and a plot that just tears along. But, now I’m done. Will there be another? And when?
