Dr Kay Scarpetta has left Virginia in quest of peace but instead finds herself drawn into baffling, horrific murders in Florida, where she becomes entangled in an international conspiracy that confronts her with the shock of her life. 'All of Cornwell's books run on high octane fuel, a cocktail of adrenalin and fear . such is her grip on her audience and such is her ability to suck you into her hermetic, claustrophobic world that Scarpetta's tension becomes the reader's. Her fear is contagious, her adrenaline levels boost your own.' The Times
Great Empires of the Past series
Using accessible and lively prose, this volume explores the history and
culture of this fascinating civilization, making history relevant by
highlighting the ideas and items that originated in the empire and are
still encountered in the modern world, such as potatoes and jerky,
words from the Quechua language, and mobile military field hospitals.
