"Forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta has come almost full circle, returning to Virginia, the state where she launched her storied career, as the chief medical examiner. Finding herself the new girl in town once again after being away for many years, she's inherited both an overbearing secretary and a legacy of neglect and potential corruption. She and her husband, Benton Wesley, now a forensic psychologist with the U.S. Secret Service, have relocated to Old Town Alexandria, where she's headquartered five miles from the Pentagon in a post-pandemic world that's been torn apart by civil and political unrest. After just weeks on the job, she's called to a scene by railroad tracks-a woman's body has been shockingly displayed, her throat cut down to the spine-and as Scarpetta begins to follow the trail, it leads unnervingly close to her own historic neighborhood. At the same time, a catastrophe occurs in a top secret laboratory in outer space, endangering at least two scientists aboard. Appointed to the highly classified Doomsday Commission that specializes in sensitive national security cases, Scarpetta is summoned to the White House and tasked with finding out exactly what happened. But even as she remotely works the first potential crime scene in space, an apparent serial killer strikes again very close to home." -- Provided by publisher. -- Strong language and some violence.

"Kay Scarpetta no lleva ni un mes en su nuevo trabajo en Virginia cuando se reclama su presencia en una escena criminal junto a una vía de tren, donde ha aparecido el cadáver mutilado de una mujer. El rastro de las pistas la llevará hasta su propio vecindario, muy cerca del Pentágono. Poco después, Kay y su marido son convocados a una reunión de urgencia de la Comisión del Día del Juicio Final: una catástrofe en un laboratorio ultrasecreto en el espacio pone en peligro la seguridad nacional y Kay debe supervisar una autopsia telemática en gravedad cero. Mientras tanto, crece la sospecha de un asesino en serie en los alrededores del Pentágono." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Contiene lenguaje ofensivo y algunas descripciones de violencia.
