This was good up until the terrorist take over of the nuclear power plant. Than it stretched credibility. ( )

Another great Kay Scarpette mystery ( )

This was a pretty good one, though the plot meandered around a bit. There were loose ends that were never really tied up. ( )

I like the Dr Scarpetta books and this one is, as usual a good, quick read. I don't think it's one of the best, but certainly passes a few hours. ( )

Okay, well written, ending seemed anticlimatic, very little humor, good technicalities/technology.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0425158616, Paperback)

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 "kill and maim, frighten, brainwash and torture" 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.
