 The eleventh book in the series picks up right where we left off in Black Notice, thankfully. Black Notice ended in a way that left me disappointed, and I am glad we continued with some of the resolutions that were lacking in that book. In this installment, Scarpetta has to leave her home, which is now the crime scene in her attempted murder. She continues to investigate the Chandonne family, which were the main interests in the previous book. Kay is also being framed for murder and is attempting to clear her name, get to the bottom of the Chandonne mystery, and find out what the deal is behind the death of Benton, her secret lover (which was not so secret). We learn a lot about the secrets Kay has in her past.
