“In the twenty-sixth Kay Scarpetta novel (following Autopsy, 2021), the newly appointed chief medical examiner of the state of Virginia is called to testify in a high-profile murder trial. During the proceedings, the judge’s sister dies under bewildering and suspicious circumstances. Could there be a connection to the murder trial? Could the dead woman’s job (she’s the CIA’s press secretary) have something to do with it? Is her husband somehow involved? Questions pile on top of questions until Scarpetta feels echoes from her past, and everything changes.” — David Pitt (Reviewed 10/1/2022) (Booklist, vol 119, number 3, p28)
