DESCRIPTION:
agent whose computer expertise leads to a heart-stopping journey into cyberspace. Helping Scarpetta is her niece Lucy, an F.B.I. . Scarpetta's involvement in the case leads her to be targeted for murder herself by a nasty little neo-fascist cult with delusions of grandeur that include a plan to "kill and maim, frighten, brainwash and torture" all who oppose their plan to rule the world. Kay Scarpetta is back; this time to solve the mystery of the death of an Associated Press reporter who was killed while nosing about in a decommissioned navy yard. Patricia Cornwell's heroine Dr
"Five Stars" according to Linda Murphy on. *Bestselling author Patricia Cornwall has shined again with her seventh novel of one of her favorite heroines, Dr. Kay Scarpetta solving another great mystery.

Kind of like the next book in the series (unnatural exposure) did the same thing it went so far then wrapped up faster then, well at least I, thought it should. This folks if you are reading out of order is really where we start getting Lucy the can't hold a job trauma drama's because we're starting with the first job for her. And yes she's in full on Lucy the brat mode in places that was funny in the first book, and not overly useful the rest of the
