Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing with the National Forensic Academy
in Florida, takes charge of a case that stretches from steamy Florida to
snowbound Boston; one that at first appears as unnerving as any she has
ever faced.
The teasing psychological clues lead Scarpetta and her team--Pete
Marino, Benton Wesley, and Lucy Farinelli--to suspect that they are
hunting someone with a cunning and malevolent mind whose secrets have
kept them in the shadows, until now. Predator is proof once again that
Patricia Cornwell has few peers with her extraordinary ability to
entertain and enthrall.
