Chaos: Kay Scarpetta #24, Patricia Cornwell

She's the expert.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is called to the scene of a cyclist's death on a hot summer evening. It appears the young woman was attacked, but the clues are strange: small glass shards on the victim's body and a strong burning smell.

Before the Cambridge Forensic Science Center is even officially notified of the case, Detective Pete Marino and Benton Wesley, Scarpetta's husband and an FBI agent, receive calls, purportedly from an Interpol investigator. But Scarpetta is convinced these calls are suspicious, and her brilliant niece Lucy quickly suspects the work of a cyber tyrant.

When someone close to Scarpetta is murdered hundreds of miles to the south, everything suggests it's the same killer. Faced with an invisible and formidable danger, will Scarpetta manage to overcome the chaos?

In this thrilling new investigation, an explosive secret will devastate Kay Scarpetta's family, and her forensic expertise will be tested like never before...
