About the series
Dr. Kay Scarpetta is the chief medical examiner of the state of Virginia, a professional with an impeccable reputation. Her analytical mind and attention to detail help her solve the most tangled crimes, where others see only chaos and unsolvable mysteries. But outside the lab, her life is far from ideal. Her relationship with her sister Dorothy is especially complicated: long-standing grievances, unspoken words, and hidden secrets have built up between them for years, forming a wall of misunderstanding. Kay tries to mend the connection, but every conversation turns into a new disagreement. The contrast between her flawless work and tangled personal life makes her character especially deep: a brilliant expert in the field of justice, she is still searching for a path to reconciliation where love and family matter most.
