A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has appeared in the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. As events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect the palaeontologist's disappearance is connected to crimes much closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the dinosaur age. But danger and suspicion have penetrated even Scarpetta's closest circles. Feeling alone and betrayed, she is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a killer both cunning and cruel.
