Summary

• Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text messages and seems to be from her computer genius niece Lucy. But how can it be? It's clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost twenty years ago. As Scarpetta watches, she begins to learn frightening secrets about her niece, whom she has loved and raised like a daughter. That film clip and then others sent soon after raise dangerous legal implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused, worried, and not knowing where to turn. She doesn't know whom she can tell -- not her FBI husband Benton Wesley or her investigative partner Pete Marino. Not even Lucy. The clips launch these characters on an intensely psychological odyssey that includes the mysterious death of a Hollywood mogul's daughter, aircraft wreckage on the bottom of the sea in the Bermuda Triangle, a grisly gift left in the back of a crime scene truck, and videos from the past that threaten to destroy Scarpetta's entire world and everyone she loves. The diabolical presence behind what unfolds seems obvious -- but strangely, not to the FBI. Certainly that's the message they send when they raid Lucy's estate and begin building a case that could send her to prison for the rest of her life.
• Le Dr Kay Scarpetta enquête sur un décès très suspect, dans une demeure ancestrale de Cambridge, quand une mystérieuse vidéo apparaît sur son téléphone. Impossible à interrompre, elle montre sa nièce, Lucy, vingt ans plus tôt à l'académie du FBI. Ce que Scarpetta découvre, elle n'ose le partager ni avec son mari Benton Westley, agent du FBI, ni avec le détective Pete Marino, ni même avec Lucy. Elle craint la réapparition de sa plus vieille ennemie, Carrie Grethen, psychopathe brillante qui a séduit la jeune Lucy pendant ses études à Quantico. Y aurait-il un lien entre ces images et l'acharnement du FBI à fouiller la propriété de Lucy ? Entre le meurtre de Cambridge et l'attaque sous-marine dont Scarpetta a été victime deux mois plus tôt ? Traquée par une meurtrière machiavélique, la légiste sait que tout peut se retourner contre elle, car désormais chaque démarche, chaque conversation, chaque geste est susceptible d'être épié, enregistré et trafiqué.
