In this latest novel from Patricia Cornwell, Doctor Scarpetta accepts an assignment from the NYPD. Is this just an interview with a criminally insane stalker or it there some truth to his rantings. If so how far do the reach who is involve.
Cornwell takes you through twists and turns, take notice of clues in the changing format. This is an excellent Christmas gift.

) Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series used to be one of the best out there but it has become nothing more than a joke. The first 5 or 6 books in the series were fantastic reading. Great writing, tight plots, great characters. But somewhere along the line after that Cornwell forgot how to write. This book is a joke compared to her earlier writing. I hadn't read a book in this series since BLOW FLY, a book that just pissed me off. A friend gave me this so I thought I'd give it a shot. It's nice to know that I've apparently missed nothing and saved some money along the way by NOT buying this authors books!

I like Patricia Cornwell and sold my book before I had a chance to read it. I had to buy this to read the next chapter in the Kay Scarpetta series. I am glad I did. Thank you.
