Blow Fly

SUMMARY: After her resignation as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner and the horrifying events which threatened her life in THE LAST PRECINCT, Kay Scarpetta has abandoned her elegant home in Richmond and is quietly living in Florida, beginning to get some balance back in her life and slowly establishing herself as a private forensic consultant. But her past won't let her rest, and her grief for Benton Wesley continues to grow, not diminish, as does the rage within Lucy, her niece. Then the architect of her changed fortunes contacts her from his cell on death row: deformed, blinded by Scarpetta's own actions, incarcerated in Texas strongest prison, Jean-Baptiste Chardonne still has the ability to terrify. But, unknown to Scarpetta, there are other forces behind the wolfman's apparent actions, invisibly shepherding her and those closest to her towards eliminating those who threaten them all. And it is all orchestrated by the one man in her life who knows every nuance of her soul. Dr. Kay Scarpetta har forlatt Virginia i søken etter litt fred og ro. Isteden har hun blitt privat konsulent i det solrike Florida. Hun får i oppdrag å se på en åtte år gammel sak, angivelig et overdosedødsfall, og involveres i en vanskelig sak; ti kvinnerer forsvunnet fra samme område i løpet av de fjorten siste månedene. Den siste forsvant for bare fire dager siden, men politiet står helt uten spor. Samtidig får hun brev fra en morder kalt Ulvemannen. Han sitter på dødscelle i Texas og lover nå å røpe hemmelighetene sin dersom Kay Scarpetta vil sette dødssprøyten. Innbundet utgave utkom 2003.
