New Years Eve and the final murder scene of Virginias bloodiest year takes Scarpetta thirty feet below the Elizabeth Rivers icy surface. A diver, Ted Eddings, is dead, an investigative reporter who was a favourite at the medical examiners office. Was Eddings probing the frigid depths of the Inactive Shipyard for a story, or simply diving for sunken trinkets And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified The case envelops Scarpetta, her niece Lucy, and police captain Pete Marino in a world where both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned detective work are critical offensive weapons. Together they follow the trail of death to a well of violence as dark and forbidding as the water that swirled over Ted Eddings.
