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)

About the Author:

Patricia Cornwell's first crime novel, Postmortem, was published in 1990 and became the first novel to win all the major crime awards in a single year. In 2008 Cornwell won the Galaxy British Book Awards' Books Direct Crime Thriller of the Year - the first American ever to win this award. In 2011 she was awarded the Medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.

Often interviewed on US national television as a forensic consultant, Cornwell is a founder of the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine; a founding member of the National Forensic Academy; a member of the Advisory Board for the Forensic Sciences Training Program at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, NYC and a member of the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital's National Council, where she is an advocate for psychiatric research.

Fox have acquired the film rights to the Scarpetta novels, featuring Angelina Jolie as Dr Kay Scarpetta. Cornwell's books are translated into thirty-six languages across more than fifty countries, and she is regarded as one of the major international bestselling authors.
