Read it and Weep . . .
Dr Kay Scarpetta’s back; leaner, meaner and in her most violent and terrifying case yet. Full of the shocks, surprises and thrills we’ve come to expect, Book of the Dead is up there with her best early work and is a real return to top form for Patricia Cornwell.
Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Kay Scarpetta decides it's time for a change of pace. Moving to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina, she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and her colleagues offer expert crime scene investigation. It seems ideal. Ideal, until the murders and other violent deaths begin. A young man jumps off a water tower. A woman is ritualistically murdered on the beach. An abused young boy is dumped in a desolate marsh. Scarpetta has dealt with many brutal crimes before, but never a string of them as baffling, or as terrifying, as the ones before her now . . .
