Description: Kay Scarpetta has been training at the Dover Port Mortuary, mastering a groundbreaking forensic procedure. And it is not long before these new skills need to be put into practice. A young man drops dead, eerily close to Scarpetta's home. When his body is examined, there are stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was locked inside the cooler.
