Livid: The new Kay Scarpetta thriller from the No.1 bestseller

Product Information

Postmortem would go on to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventure prize – the first book ever to claim all these distinctions in a single year.

Cornwell fans who relish her Kay Scarpetta stories for the postmortem findings will welcome this tale of twisted minds and the gory havoc they cause. Hailed as the first bona fide forensic thriller, Postmortem paved the way for an explosion of entertainment featuring all things forensic. At that time, I was more than willing to let Kate and her family of supporting characters ride off into the sunset because the books had gotten very formula-matic and repetitive. Scarpetta is a reluctant star witness in a sensational murder trial when she is flung into the depths of a series of murders. Tatsächlich waren 2016 ominöse Krankheiten (Havanna Syndrom) bei amerikanischen Diplomaten und Spionen aufgetaucht, hinter denen bislang ein Anschlag mit Mikrowellenwaffen vermutet wird.What's interesting is that by the end readers (especially those of us who started with the first book in the series) realize all the main characters are now related by either blood or marriage.

Patricia’s novels center primarily on medical examiner Kay Scarpetta along with her tech-savvy niece Lucy and fellow investigator Pete Marino.Noch bevor ihr Tod an die Polizei oder gar Öffentlichkeit gelangt, sind CIA, Ssecret Service und FBI vor Ort.
