A serial killer strangles women in Richmond (Virginia) in the early hours of Saturday mornings, leaving barely any clues. When a fourth victim appears, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, chief of the Medical Examiner's office, turns to the latest forensic advances to catch him, while some try to sabotage her work.
First installment of the Kay Scarpetta series. The original novel was published in 1990 and was recognized with the Edgar and Anthony awards for best first novel.
Patricia Cornwell is an American crime writer. She is known for her best-selling novels featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, of which the first was inspired by a series of sensational murders in Richmond, Virginia, where most of the stories are set. The plots are notable for their emphasis on forensic science, which has influenced later TV treatments of police work. Cornwell has also accused Walter Sickert of carrying out the Jack the Ripper killings. However, Sickert is not considered a serious suspect by most who study the case, and strong evidence shows he spent most of 1888 outside the UK, and was in France at the time of most of the Ripper murders. Her books have sold more than 120 million copies.
