The heart-stopping new Dr. Kay Scarpetta thriller from America's #1-bestselling crime writer. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago. In Trace, Scarpetta travels to Richmond, Virginia, at the odd behest of the recently appointed Chief Medical Examiner, who claims that he needs her help to solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta finds that nothing is as she expected: her former lab is in the final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent, whom Marino dislikes instantly, meddles with the case. Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence-traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear.
Kay Scarpetta regresa a la clínica forense de Richmond (Virginia) -que fuera durante años su centro de trabajo- para participar en la investigación de la muerte de una adolescente. Gilly Paulsson fue hallada muerta en su cama sin aparentes signos de violencia; no obstante, el hecho de que la autopsia se esté posponiendo más de lo previsto y que el FBI esté interesado en conocer los resultados de la misma despierta el recelo de la forense. Benton Wesley, desde su refugio en Aspen, confirma las sospechas de Scarpetta cuando le recomienda cautela, pues ha dado con información extraoficial que insinúa que el caso Paulsson podría estar siendo utilizado como tapadera.
Scarpetta, ayudada por Pete Marino, intentará dilucidar qué hay de verdad en todo ello, a la vez que se enfrentará a la hostilidad con que la trata Joel Marcus, el forense jefe que la sustituyó en su cargo, descontento con el regreso dela reputada doctora.
Mientras tanto, Lucy y Benton tratan de encontrar a la persona que atacó a Henri cuando ésta se alojaba en casa de la primera.
Además de revelar la dirección que tomarán una y otra investigación, Patricia Cornwell narra la emocionante vuelta de Scarpetta a la institución a la que hizo célebre y de la que fue injustamente despedida.
