THE BREATHTAKING NEW KAY SCARPETTA THRILLER FROM THE GLOBAL BESTSELLER
SOON TO BE AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO

Two mauled bodies in the woods. Two top secret autopsies. The most chilling case of Scarpetta's career . . .

Chief medical examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta finds herself in a Northern Virginia wilderness examining the remains of two campers wanted by federal law enforcement.

The victims have been savaged beyond recognition, and other evidence is terrifying and baffling, including a larger-than-life footprint.

After one of the most frightening body retrievals of her career, Scarpetta must discover who would commit murders this brutal, and why.

The next book in the Scarpetta series is Identity Unknown. And the brand new instalment, Sharp Force, is available now!
