DEPRAVED HEART

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a highly suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massa
chusetts, when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link seems to be
from her niece Lucy. But how can it be? It s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy
taken almost twenty years ago.

As Scarpetta watches she comes to grips with fr
ightening secrets about her niece. That first clip and others sent soon after ra
ise dangerous implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her con
fused, alarmed, and not knowing where to turn.
