Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta plays a tense cat-and-mouse game with a serial killer, an old enemy, in her sixth outing (following The Body Farm ), and he has her badly rattled. The story begins as a rotten Christmas for Scarpetta: Temple Gault has struck again, leaving a naked, apparently home less girl shot in Central Park on Christmas Eve; Scarpetta, as the FBI's co nsulting pathologist, is called in. Later, a transit cop is found shot in a subway tunnel, and, back home in Richmond, Va., the body of a crooked loca l sheriff is delivered to Scarpetta's own morgue by the elusive, brilliant Gault. The normally unflappable Scarpetta finds herself hyperventilating an d nearly shooting her own niece. In the end, some ingenious forensic detect ive work and a visit to the killer's agonized family set up a high-tech cli max back in the New York subway, which Gault treats as the Phantom of the O pera did the sewers of Paris, and Scarpetta, stuck with her own family trou bles and involved in a rather glum affair with a colleague, seems to be run ning low on energy. Still, this is a compelling, fast-moving tale.
