From a bestselling author, a "hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring" thriller in which Scarpetta receives a message from beyond the grave…(Chris Whitaker, author of All the Colors of the Dark)

Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead.

And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message...

Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with.

The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead’s secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.

As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil... Thriller & Suspense Mystery Crime Thrillers Women Sleuths Suspense

I know Scarpetta’s sister is *supposed* to be annoying but January LaVoy’s vocal portrayal of her was so jaw-clenchingly grating that I had to stop listening to her and listen to some Scott Brick narration to relax at bedtime.

The story resolution seemed implausible.
Maybe I just listened to it on a bad day.

I have been a Patricia Cornwall fan since I heard her speak decades ago at an FBI associates convention in Atlanta. I remain a loyal fan but this book isn’t one of my favorites.

I like January Lavoy as the narrator. She is good. She should narrate all of the Scarpettas series.
