Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Patricia Cornwell brings Kay Scarpetta together with Marino, Benton, and Lucy in a way that is reminiscent of the early novels. The point of view is Scarpetta's, and this is her story. As the chief of the new Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts, a joint venture of the state and federal governments and MIT, Kay Scarpetta is confronted with a case that could shut down her new facility and ruin her personally and professionally. A young man drops dead, apparently from a cardiac arrhythmia, eerily close to Scarpetta's new home. But the next morning there are stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was locked inside the center's cooler.
"Thorndike Press large print basic"--T.p. verso.
When Scarpetta examines a young man's body, she discovers stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked inside the cooler of her new Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts. Various 3-D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen. These suggest the possibility of a conspiracy to cause mass casualties, and she races against time to discover who and why before more people die.
