Patricia Cornwell - Cruel and Unusual
At 11.05 one December evening in Richmond, Virginia, convicted murderer
Ronnie Joe Waddell is pronounced dead in the electric chair. At the morgue
Dr Kay Scarpetta waits for Waddell’s body. Preparing to perform a post-mortem
before the subject is dead is a strange feeling, but Scarpetta has been here before.
And Waddell’s death is not the only newsworthy event on this freezing night:
the grotesquely wounded body of a young boy is found propped against a rubbish skip.
To Scarpetta the two cases seem unrelated, until she recalls that the body of
Waddell’s victim had been arranged in a strikingly similar position..

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta - 02 Body Of Evidence
A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared …
Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes
threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but
eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives,
Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in … Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta
the investigation of a crime that is as convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would
Beryl open the door to someone who brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her?
Did she know her killer? Adding to the intrigue is Beryl’s enigmatic relationship
with a prize-winning author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta
retraces Beryl’s footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with
microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her own.

Cornwell, Patricia - Andy Brazil 01 - Hornets Nest
Deputy Chief Virginia West likes and respects her boss, Hammer, but with an
increasing number of visiting businessmen being murdered in her city by a
maniac with a penchant for painting his victims bright orange, she finds it
hard to accept Hammer’s edict that a rookie reporter should ride on patrol
with her to better relations with their citizens. Her worst fears are confirmed
when the reporter, Brazil, presses the button to activate the boot-release rather
than the siren on their first outing. He’s not the only blight on her life right now:
her cat’s angsty, her hormones are misbehaving, her opposite number in the uniformed
division is behaving like a jackass, the radio despatcher is determined to trip her up,
the D.A. is in the middle of a hot battle with the trial schedule. And orange coloured
corpses keep turning up on her patch.

Cornwell, Patricia - Andy Brazil 02 - Southern Cross
Judy Hammer has accepted the challenge of Richmond, Virginia’s police department
to try and reverse the escalating crime statistics in the city. She brings with
her Deputy Chief Virginia West and Andy Brazil, now a full-time police officer.
They find a lot of things they are all too familiar with - teenage gangs, a rash
of robberies at cash dispensers, street corner drug-dealing, racial tensions, too
many people with too many guns and a cardiac inducing lack of parking spaces.
They also meet resentment from the established police force and over-high expectations
from the city’s institutions. Then a computer virus crashes the police computer,
freezing their screens with a design of blue fish, and the same blue fish appears
on the statue of Jefferson Davis, which a graffiti artist has turned into a black
basketball player and a gang called the Pikes claim it is their symbol, which also
has links to the robberies. In an incredibly fast-moving police procedural Patricia
Cornwell takes her readers on a roller-coaster ride of action and emotion.

Cornwell, Patricia - Andy Brazil 03 - Isle of Dogs
Newly installed superintendent of the Virginia State Police, Judy Hammer,
and her right hand and confidant, Andy Brazil, are at their wits’ end
trying to protect the public from the politicians - and vice versa.
And amid the mayhem an island off the coast of Virginia declares UDI -
claiming its independence lies in the history of America’s first settlers,
those who set sail from London’s Isle of Dogs in 1607.

Cornwell, Patricia - At Risk 01 - At Risk
A Massachusetts state investigator is called home from Knoxville, Tennessee,
where he is completing a course at the National Forensic Academy. His boss,
the district attorney, attractive but hard-charging, is planning to run for governor,
and as a showcase she’s planning to use a new crime initiative called At Risk-its motto:
“Any crime, any time.” In particular, she’s been looking for a way to employ cutting-edge
DNA technology, and she thinks she’s found the perfect subject in an unsolved twenty-year
-old murder-in Tennessee. If her office solves the case, it ought to make them all look
pretty good, right?
Her investigator is not so sure-not sure about anything to do with this woman, really-but
before he can open his mouth, a shocking piece of violence intervenes, an act that shakes
up not only both their lives but the lives of everyone around them. It’s not a random event.
Is it personal? Is it professional? Whatever it is, the implications are very, very bad
indeed . . . and they’re about to get much worse.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 01 - Postmortem
A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three women have died,
brutalised and strangled in their own bedroom. There is no pattern: the killer
appears to strike at random - but always early on Saturday mornings. So when
Dr Kay Scarpetta, chief medical officer, is awakened at 2.33 am, she knows the
news is bad: there is a fourth victim. And she fears now for those that will
follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to aid the police. But not
everyone is pleased to see a woman in this powerful job. Someone may even want
to ruin her career and reputation …

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 05 - The Body Farm
Black Mountain, North Carolina: a sleepy little town where the local police deal
with one homicide a year, if they’re unlucky, and where people are still getting
used to the idea of locking their doors at night.
But violent death is no respecter of venue, and the discovery of the corpse of
the corpse of an 11-year-old girl sends shock waves through the community.
Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief medical Examiner on a similar case in Virginia, is
called in to apply her forensic skills to this latest atrocity, but the apparent
simplicity of the case proves something of a poisoned chalice - until Scarpetta
finds enlightenment through the curious pathologists’ playground known as the Body Farm …

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 06 - From Potter’s Field
Christmas had never been a particularly good time for Dr Kay Scarpetta. Although a
holiday for most, it always seem to heighten the alienation felt by society’s violent
fringe; and that usually means more work for Scarpetta, Virginia’s Chief Medical ExaminerI.
The body was naked, female and found propped against a fountain in a bleak area of
New York’s Central Park. Her apparent manner of death points to a modus operandi
that is chillingly familiar: the gunshot wound to the head, the sections of skin
excised from the body, the displayed corpse - all suggest that Temple Brooks Gault,
Scarpetta’s nemesis, is back at work. Calling on all her reserves of courage and skill,
and the able assistance of colleagues Marino and Wesley, Scarpetta must track this
most dangerous of killers in pursuit of survival as well as justice - heading inexorably
to an electrifying climax amid the dark, menacing labyrinths of the New York subway.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 07 - Cause of Death
An investigative reporter is found dead in Virginia’s icy waters … New Year’s Eve
and the final murder scene of Virginia’s bloodiest year takes Scarpetta thirty
feet below the Elizabeth River’s icy surface. A diver, Ted Eddings, is dead,
an investigative reporter who was a favourite at the Medical Examiner’s office.
Was Eddings probing the frigid depths of the Inactive Shipyard for a story,
or simply diving for sunken trinkets? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone
call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified? The case
envelops Scarpetta, her niece Lucy, and police captain Pete Marino in a world
where both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned detective work are critical
offensive weapons. Together they follow the trail of death to a well of violence
as dark and forbidding as water that swirled over Ted Eddings.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 08 - Unnatural Exposure
A sadistic serial killer, the weapon a deadly virus Dublin, Ireland and Richmond,
Virginia: separated by thousands of miles - linked by murder. For Dr Kay Scarpetta
a lecture stint in Ireland provides the perfect opportunity to find out if the
murders on both sides of the Atlantic are indeed connected. Five dismembered,
beheaded bodies were found in Ireland five years ago - now four have been
discovered in the States. But the tenth corpse in Virginia is different.
There are vital discrepancies, and an indication that the elderly victim was
already seriously ill. A copy-cat killing. Ghoulish, perhaps, but not unusual.
And then abject terror grips Scarpetta and her colleagues when the next body is found.
The circumstances of death broadcast a clear and horrifying message: the killer is
armed with the most lethal weapon on earth - smallpox.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 09 - Point of Origin
A farmhouse destroyed by fire. A body amongst the ruins. Dr Kay Scarpetta,
Chief Medical Examiner and consulting pathologist for the federal law
enforcement agency ATF, is called out to a farmhouse in Virginia which has
been destroyed by fire. In the ruins of the house she finds a body which
tells a story of a violent and grisly murder. The fire has come at the
same time as another, even more incendiary horror: Carrie Grethen,
a killer who nearly destroyed the lives of Scarpetta and those closest
to her, has escaped from a forensic psychiatric hospital. Her whereabouts
is unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, for Carrie has begun to
communicate with Scarpetta, conveying her deadly - if cryptic - plans for
revenge. Chillingly mesmeric in tone, labyrinthine in structure, POINT OF ORIGIN
is Patricia Cornwell at her most dazzling.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 10 - Black Notice
An intriguing Dr Kay Scarpetta novel which will take Kay an ocean’s breadth away
from home. The case begins when a cargo ship arriving at Richmond, Virginia’s
Deep Water Terminal from Belgium is discovered to be transporting a locked,
sealed container holding the decomposed remains of a stowaway. The post mortem
performed by the Chief Medical Examiner, Kay Scarpetta, initially reveals neither
a cause of death nor an identification. But the victim’s personal effects and
an odd tattoo take Scarpetta on a hunt for information that leads to Interpol’s
headquarters in Lyon, where she receives critical instructions: go to the Paris
morgue to receive secret evidence and then return to Virginia to carry out a mission.
It is a mission that could ruin her career. In a story which crosses international
borders, BLACK NOTICE puts Dr Kay Scarpetta directly in harm’s way and places her
and those she holds dear at mortal risk.

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 11 - The Last Precinct
Physically and psychologically bruised by her encounter with the killer Chandonne,
Dr Kay Scarpetta has to leave her home in the hands of the police team investigating
the attack. She finds shelter with an old friend, Anna Zenner, but it is not the
haven of security she needs when she discovers that Anna has been sub-poenaed to
appear before a Grand Jury which is investigating Scarpetta for murder. Kay knows
she is being framed and she also knows she can trust no-one. Meanwhile it appears
that Chandonne killed a woman in New York before his murderous spree in Virginia,
but when Scarpetta looks more closely into that case with the NY prosectuor
Jaime Berger, proof of his guilt is far from certain - in fact she begins to
believe that he may not be the perpetrator of any of the crimes he is accused of.
As she follows the forensic trail to the real killer she gradually realises that
someone has been spinning a web for years with the aim of entrapping her.

Dr Kay Scarpetta has left Virginia in quest of peace but instead finds herself
drawn into baffling, horrific murders in Florida, where she becomes entangled
in an international conspiracy that confronts her with the shock of her life.
‘All of Cornwell’s books run on high octane fuel, a ~censored~ of adrenalin and fear .
such is her grip on her audience and such is her ability to suck you into her
hermetic, claustrophobic world that Scarpetta’s tension becomes the reader’s.
Her fear is contagious, her adrenaline levels boost your own.’

Cornwell, Patricia - Kay Scarpetta 14 - Predator
Kay Scarpetta and her colleagues-Benton Wesley, Pete Marino, and her niece Lucy
Farinelli-return to a series of forensic cases as haunting as any they have ever tackled.
Working with the National Forensic Institute in Florida, Scarpetta and Marino
examine the X-rays of a man who has died from a shotgun blast to the chest.
But the pellets embedded show a strange ‘pinball’ pattern and the two can’t
help but wonder if this points to suicide-or to murder.
In an abandoned house in the rural South, a woman is held against her will. Her captor
is unknown to her-and indeed unseen-but even in the dark, she knows that he is near.
And on Cape Cod, Lucy awakens to a gray winter morning and the sure feeling that
she has made a dreadful mistake.

Cornwell. Patricia- Book of the Dead
The “book of the dead” is the morgue log, the ledger in which all cases are
entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to have a new meaning.
Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Scarpetta decides
it’s time for a change of pace-not only personally and professionally,
but geographically. Moving to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina,
she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and
her colleagues-including Pete Marino and her niece, Lucy-offer expert crime-scene
investigation and autopsies to communities that lack local access to competent
death investigation and modern technology.
It seems like an ideal situation, until the new battles start-with local politicians,
with entrenched interests, with someone whose covert attempts at sabotage are clearly
meant to run her out of town. And that’s even before the murders and other violent
deaths begin.
A young man from a well-known family jumps off a water tower. A woman is found
ritualistically murdered in her multi-million-dollar beach home. The body of an
abused young boy is discovered dumped in a desolate marsh. Meanwhile, in distant
New England, problems with a prominent patient at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric
hospital begin to hint at interconnections that are as hard to imagine as they
are horrible.
