Book description
A 'one-off' from the best-selling creator of the Dr Kay Scarpetta
series, based on the serialisation in the New York Times. Moving between
the chill of Cambridge, Massachusetts and the sultry humidity of
Knoxville, Tennessee, Winston Garano, a police investigator, is
instructed to look into a twenty-year-old murder case. Although Win
reckons there are many more pressing current cases which should have
higher priority, he gets on with the task, unaware of the can of worms
he will prise open. With her hallmark qualities of deft
characterisation, perfect research and tense story-telling, Patricia
Cornwell has created a novel which entertains, intrigues and satisfies.
Patricia Cornwell's first novel, POSTMORTEM, was published in 1990 and
won five international awards. Her Scarpetta novels have since become
number one bestsellers throughout the world. She has also published
three police procedurals, HORNET'S NEST, SOUTHERN CROSS and ISLE OF
DOGS.
