Offered in 0 more formats"Una tarde de finales de verano en Cambridge, Massachusetts, la doctora Kay Scarpetta y su compañero de investigación, Pete Marino, responden a una llamada sobre una joven ciclista muerta que parece haber sido atacada con una fuerza casi sobrehumana. Antes de que la sede de Scarpetta haya sido notificada oficialmente sobre el suceso, el agente Marino y Benton Wesley, el marido de la doctora Scarpetta, miembro del FBI, reciben llamadas de alguien supuestamente de la Interpol interesándose sobre el crimen. Pero no tiene sentido. ¿Por qué la agencia policial internacional conocería el caso o estaría interesada en él? Pronto se hace evidente que las llamadas podrían ser obra de un ciberacosador anónimo llamado Tailend Charlie, que ha estado enviando a Scarpetta comunicaciones crípticas con informaciones privadas de su pasado desde hace más de una semana. Ni siquiera Lucy, su brillante sobrina experta en tecnología, puede rastrear cómo esta persona ha podido tener acceso a información tan personal. Cuando una segunda muerte conmociona a la doctora hasta lo más profundo, se hace evidente que ella y sus seres queridos se enfrentan a algo mucho más grande y peligroso de lo que jamás habían imaginado."--Page [4] of cover.
"In the quiet of twilight, on an early autumn day, twenty-six-year-old Elisa Vandersteel is killed while riding her bicycle along the Charles River. It appears she was struck by lightning--except the weather is perfectly clear with not a cloud in sight. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the Cambridge Forensic Center's director and chief, decides at the scene that this is no accidental Act of God. Her investigation becomes complicated when she begins receiving a flurry of bizarre poems from an anonymous cyberbully who calls himself Tailend Charlie. Though subsequent lab results support Scarpetta's conclusions, the threatening messages don't stop. When the tenth poem arrives exactly twenty-four hours after Elisa's death, Scarpetta begins to suspect the harasser is involved, and sounds the alarm to her investigative partner Pete Marino and her husband, FBI analyst Benton Wesley. She also enlists the help of her niece, Lucy. But to Scarpetta's surprise, tracking the slippery Tailend Charlie is nearly impossible, even for someone as brilliant as her niece. Also, Lucy can't explain how this anonymous nemesis could have access to private information. To make matters worse, a venomous media is whipping the public into a frenzy, questioning the seasoned forensics chief's judgment and "a quack cause of death on a par with spontaneous combustion." --
