A killer is stalking young lovers. Taking their lives … and leaving just one tantalising clue …
When the bodies of young courting couples start turning up in remote woodlands areas, Dr Kay Scarpetta’s task as Chief Medical Examiner is made more difficult by the effects of the elements. Eight times she must write that the cause of death is undetermined.
