Beschreibung
Summoned to an unsettling abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr Kay Scarpetta is devastated to discover that the victim is a man she once loved. While teaching in Rome early in her career, Scarpetta had an affair with acclaimed astrophysicist Sal Giordano, which led to a lifelong friendship. The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals surrounding the body, while Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows that an autopsy can reveal the secrets of the dead, but she is shocked to find that her friend appears to have deliberately left her a clue. As the investigators waver between suspicions of otherworldly forces and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that seems far more evil to her.
