Port Mortuary (Kay Scarpetta) - Hardcover
The new Kay Scarpetta novel from the world's #1 bestselling crime writer.
"When it comes to the forensic sciences, nobody can touch Cornwell."
-The New York Times Book Review
Port Mortuary, the title of Patricia Cornwell's eighteenth Scarpetta novel, is literally a port for the dead. In this fast-paced story, a treacherous path from Scarpetta's past merges with the high- tech highway she now finds herself on. We travel back to the beginning of her professional career, when she accepted a scholarship from the Air Force to pay off her medical school debt. Now, more than twenty years and many career successes later, her secret military ties have drawn her to Dover Air Force Base, where she has been immersed in a training fellowship.
As the chief of the new Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts, a joint venture of the state and federal governments, MIT and Harvard, Scarpetta is confronted with a case that could shut down her new facility and ruin her personally and professionally.

Review:
'A thrilling read (Best)
Long, terse and brilliant...Cornwell, who has already won more prizes than you can shake a stick at, seems to be getting better and better (City AM)
A gripping read made more chilling by Cornwell's note that the sci-fi technology she's describing actually exists (Metro)
A bountiful offering from one of crime fiction's most celebrated authors...arguably her most accessible book in more than a decade (Hartford Books Examiner)
