Dr. Kay Scarpetta is an unrelenting medical examiner with skilled hands and an unnerving eye. Unfolding across two timelines, a dual narrative explores Scarpetta's journey from her beginnings as a Chief Medical Examiner in the late '90s to her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder.

As Scarpetta pursues justice, she must navigate complicated relationships, confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she's built.

Based on Patricia Cornwell's Bestselling Novels.
