Et il ne restera que poussière...

In two years, four couples have disappeared in the Williamsburg region. Their cars were found, and several weeks later, their remains... Too little in fact for Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the medical examiner, to determine the cause of death. But this time everything will change: the student who was driving with her boyfriend in a Jeep Cherokee is the daughter of one of the most powerful women in the United States, number one in the fight against drugs, who is determined to move heaven and earth to solve this disappearance, dragging Kay Scarpetta in her wake.
