Hrdinka Cornwellovej detektívnych príbehov doktorka Kay Scarpettová prichádza do ženskej väznice v Savannahu. Má sa tam stretnúť s odsúdenou Kathleen Lawlerovou, biologickou matkou diabolskej Dawn Kincaidovej. Tá má na svedomí niekoľko vrážd v Massachusetts vrátane vraždy svojho biologického otca a doktorkinho spolupracovníka Jacka Fieldinga. Napriek manželovmu nesúhlasu sa Scarpettová rozhodne s touto ženou stretnúť a vypočuť si ju. Chce zistiť viac o Jackovi, súdnom patológovi a bývalom zástupcovi, ako žil v súkromí a čo ho spájalo s Kathleen Lawlerovou. Jaime Bergerová, prokurátorka a partnerka Scarpettovej netere Lucy, odišla z New Yorku do Savannahu, aby sa zaoberala prípadom ďalšej odsúdenej, tínedžerky Loly Daggetovej. Pred deviatimi rokmi ju obvinili z vyvraždenia rodiny miestneho lekára, ale celý prípad vyšetrili iba povrchne. Väznica teda osudovo spája tri ženy - Kathleen, Lolu a Jaime. Udalosti dostanú rýchly spád, keď Kathleen po návšteve Kay Scarpettovej za zvláštnych okolností zomiera. A Jaime Bergerová, s ktorou sa doktorka stretla v noci na neskorej večeri, na ďalší deň nedvíha telefón, nereaguje na odkazy. Napokon ju nájdu mŕtvu... Je to náhoda, alebo majú tieto udalosti nejakú súvislosť s odsúdenou Lolou? Alebo všetko smeruje k tomu, aby sa do niečoho vážneho zaplietla sama doktorka Scarpettová?

Dve mladé americké dvojice, ktoré po zavŕšení stredoškolského štúdia trávia bezstarostnú dovolenku na plážach v turistickom stredisku Cancúne, ani netušia, čo ich bude stáť nápad spestriť si dni záhaľky malým dobrodružstvom... Mexický prales s tajomnými mayskými ruinami je priveľkým lákadlom, aby mu odolali, nehovoriac o pocite súdržnosti s novozískaným priateľom, ktorého zaľúbený brat sa nevracia z archeologického náleziska, kam sa vybral za svojou láskou...Úmorná cesta rozhorúčeným zeleným tunelom s neznámou flórou a faunou, plným všakovakej exotickej hávede a tajomných náznakov, je iba predohrou toho, čo ich čaká pri starých zrúcaninách v smrteľne nebezpečných hlbinách pralesa. Až po zdrvujúcom objave sa podozrenie mení na hrôzostrašnú pravdu s dôsledkami, ktorým už nemožno zabrániť.

The title story, Supertoys Last All Summer Long, soon to be a major film directed by Steven Spielberg, tells of a young boy who, whatever he does, cannot please his mother. He is puzzled by this, not realising that he is an android, a cunning construct of artificial intelligence - as is his one ally, his teddy bear. It was a story that hugely affected Stanley Kubrick (director of 2001) and Steven Spielberg (who perhaps saw in his forthcoming movie AI (Artificial Intelligence) a complement to his ET!). This collection contains three SUPERTOYS stories, and they are the fabric of Spielberg's movie. The other stories in the collection, whether SF, utopian fantasy or dark fable show a master writer at the peak of his considerable powers.
