A lovely first edition/first printing in Fine condition housed in an alike dust-jacket that has very little shelfwear.

In this chilling, compelling novel, medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta is called to investigate a grisly crime scene: a severed human head, neatly placed on a bench in a park. As Scarpetta begins her investigation, she realizes that the case is not as simple as it first appears. The head is not the only disturbing discovery: in the surrounding area, Scarpetta finds more than a dozen freshly killed animals, with their throats cut.

As Scarpetta strives to solve the puzzle of the head and the animals, she begins to realize that the two cases are connected. And as she investigates further, she realizes that the perpetrator may be someone she knows--someone she's trusted. As Scarpetta races against the clock to catch the killer, she must use all her skills to piece together the terrifying puzzle of the Body Farm.; 8vo; 387 pages; 15.
