  <default-description>Patricia Cornwell's heroine Dr. Kay Scarpetta is back; this time to solve the mystery of the death of an Associated Press reporter who was killed while nosing about in a decommissioned navy yard. Scarpetta's involvement in the case leads her to be targeted for murder herself by a nasty little neo-fascist cult with delusions of grandeur that include a plan to &quot;kill and maim, frighten, brainwash and torture&quot; all who oppose their plan to rule the world. Helping Scarpetta is her niece Lucy, an F.B.I. agent  whose computer expertise leads to a heart-stopping journey into cyberspace. </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I believe the mid series Scarpetta books are some of the best. Often reading Cornwell's books, I get bored in the early part of the book.<br/><br/>When I finished this book, I thought the story line sounded familiar - but parts of the book seemed unfamiliar. Could it be parts of the story line wer...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65305687">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is not one of my favorites of this series.  I just didn't think the storyline all jived together.  It kind of got a little bit out there with the conspiracy theory and it just wasn't a fave of mine.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Patricia Cornwell's books, but after re-reading this one, things seemed to get a little unbelievable.  Her 1st few books were really good, but as they progress I spend more time thinking &quot;this is ridiculous&quot; rather than enjoying the plot.  Still going to keep moving through t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67590298">more...</a>]]></body>
