Product Information

In the midst of all this tumult, a CIA press secretary named Rachael Stanwyck - who's the sister of Kay's friend, Judge Annie Chilton - is found murdered in Chilton's home. Kay runs the Virginia forensic pathology department, and a former student of hers is now in charge of all health departments in the state. Many thanks to the publisher, via NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review a pre-release copy. Kay still new her stuff, but remained challenged in her professional life, constantly having to defend her decisions.

This never-stop action plot is yet another gift to readers from Patricia Cornwell-a literary artist that is never going to stop writing some of the best and most memorable thrillers out there. The judge, Annie Chilton, is Scarpetta's long-time friend; but this time out, her rulings are falling outside the norm. Elvin Reddy - who's now the Health Commissioner - has a grudge against Kay, and tries to interfere with her work.But alas, there is a lengthy number of pages with her driving from Old Town down to the Fort Hunt area in Alexandria (I live near here). Once again, Patricia Cornwell offers a glimpse into a nightmarish future that is already here, reminding us that our deepest fears have likely become reality.

One clue leads to another to revelations about the death of a former colleague - one who has ties to the trial at the beginning of the book. WARNING - **SPOILERS AHEAD** - you will want to have read the book or your reading experience may be negatively influenced. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Cornwell continues exploring the latest space-age technologies and threats relevant to contemporary life. All this leads to demonstrations and threats against Kay, and she's actually kicked, tripped, and injured. The next 113 pages up through page 252 covered the inspection of the body, inspecting the murder site, going home, and debrief in the kitchen while eating. A crime thriller with so many twists and turns, I could not always tell which way was up in Cornwell’s best novel over the last number of years. Her interests span outside the literary: Patricia co-founded of the Conservation Scientist Chair at the Harvard University Art Museums.

Thank you to Grand Central Publishing for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. Kay's testimony infuriates both the prosecutor and the public, who want Hooke locked up for the rest of his life.
