Cornwell. Patricia- Book of the Dead
The "book of the dead" is the morgue log, the ledger in which all cases are
entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to have a new meaning.
Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Scarpetta decides
it's time for a change of pace-not only personally and professionally,
but geographically. Moving to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina,
she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and
her colleagues-including Pete Marino and her niece, Lucy-offer expert crime-scene
investigation and autopsies to communities that lack local access to competent
death investigation and modern technology.
It seems like an ideal situation, until the new battles start-with local politicians,
with entrenched interests, with someone whose covert attempts at sabotage are clearly
meant to run her out of town. And that's even before the murders and other violent
deaths begin.
A young man from a well-known family jumps off a water tower. A woman is found
ritualistically murdered in her multi-million-dollar beach home. The body of an
abused young boy is discovered dumped in a desolate marsh. Meanwhile, in distant
New England, problems with a prominent patient at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric
hospital begin to hint at interconnections that are as hard to imagine as they
are horrible.
