Kay Scarpetta viaja a Dublin para investigar una serie de homicidios ocurridos en Irlanda diez anos atras. Estos presentan algunas similitudes con el caso del Carnicero, que ha infundido el panico en los habitantes de Virginia, y se intenta establecer si ambos sucesos presentan caracteristicas comunes. De vuelta en Estados Unidos todo se precipita: el torso de una mujer aparece en un vertedero con los miembros amputados e inquietantes muestras de herpes en determinadas zonas. El arma ha sido una sierra de carnicero, como en los casos irlandeses, pero la forma de amputar no responde al mismo patron. Todo parece indicar que se trata de asesinos distintos, hasta que la doctora Scarpetta recibe el primero de una serie de macabros mensajes por correo electronico firmados por "muerteadoc."

After John's wife killed her Mafia don lover, John set out on a sailboat journey around the world. Ten years later he comes home ... and people from his life begin resurfacing, in a web of seduction and betrayal, intent on exacting revenge.

When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, encounters a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he unwittingly sets off a series of events that will lead his master into a historic courtroom drama. The stranger, a Sicilian wronged by the corrupt governor Verres, brings a case to Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and orator eager to achieve supreme power. This marks the beginning of a compelling narrative, told from Tiro's perspective, that immerses readers in the treacherous world of Roman politics. It explores how one man—clever, compassionate, and vulnerable—navigates the complexities of ambition and power. The story emphasizes the significance of articulating ambition, as Cicero's bold declaration of his aspirations ignites hope and possibility. Robert Harris reflects on his long-standing fascination with politics, likening it to a contact sport. He highlights the timeless elements of oratory, strategizing, and public manipulation that make politics exhilarating. Cicero’s journey is not just a historical account but a universal exploration of ambition and the thrill of political life.
