La Huella: Kay Scarpetta Mysteries

When Kay Scarpetta arrives in Richmond to investigate the death of a 14-year-old girl, she finds neither a working lab nor a support staff. Because her colleagues are embroiled an apparently unrelated rape case, Scarpetta is left alone to decode traces of evidence too small to identify except by the most thorough hunters. She follows twisting leads and strange details in order to find testimony from the dead and reveal an unbearably sad truth.
