It's the best book Cornwell has written in years." -- Katy Munger, Washington Post Book World Publisher NotesKay Scarpetta is taken an ocean's length away from home in the newest high-stakes novel by bestselling author Patricia Cornwell. A cargo ship arriving from Belgium at Richmond's Deep Water Terminal is discovered to be transporting a locked, sealed container holding the decomposed remains of a stowaway. Other Recommended Books
