Little Emily Steiner left a church meeting late one afternoon and strolled toward home along a lakeside path; a week later, her nude body was discovered, bound in blaze-orange duct tape. Called by the North Carolina authorities, forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta recognizes similarities to the gruesome work of a serial killer who has long eluded the FBI But as she tries to make sense of the evidence, she is left with questions that lead her to the Body Farm, a little known research facility in Tennessee where, with the help of some grisly experiments, she might discover the answer.It is Scarpetta alone who can interpret the forensic hieroglyphics that eventually reveal a solution to the case as staggering as it is horrifying. But she must also endeavor to help her niece, Lucy, who is embroiled in controversy at Quantico. And Scarpetta, too, is vulnerable, as she opens herself to the first physical and emotional bond she has felt in far too long a time.Tenacious and brilliant, tender and gentle, this is Scarpetta even more realized and poignant than we've seen her before--in a stunning achievement from a best-selling author at the peak of her powers.

      In much of her early work Patricia Cornwell assembles a perfect formula--overweight cop Pete Marino; bright forensic pathologist Kay Scareptta; brilliant, slightly elusive F.B.I. Special Agent Wesley Benton--with just the right amount of sexual tension among the three of them. There's also super computer nerd Lucy, Scarpetta's niece; high-tech crime scene analysis; and plenty of sawing and boiling of bones and bodies in the morgue, including those of an 11-year old girl. Serial killer Temple Gault hovers on the edges of this plot, and bubonic plague has been thrown into the mix. C.J. Critt's performance is a delightful knife-edged treat; each character is shaped with distinction, vitality, and clarity. M.D.H. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
