What this book is about
Kay Scarpetta investigates a series of seemingly random sniper killings along the Eastern Seaboard, each death marked by unusual coins left at the scene. As she searches for a pattern, threats close in on her personally. The twenty-second Scarpetta novel is a high-octane procedural with Scarpetta at her most analytically brilliant.
