Overview
Dive into the morgue, the crime lab and the darkest corners of the human psyche with this five-book Kay Scarpetta collection from bestseller Patricia Cornwell. Spanning books eleven to fifteen of the series - The Last Precinct, Blow Fly, Trace, Predator and Book of the Dead - this paperback set follows forensic pathologist Dr Kay Scarpetta through her most dangerous investigations as she rebuilds her career and safety while chasing killers who leave only the faintest trail.

About the Books
This collection opens with Scarpetta's world in freefall. In The Last Precinct, still reeling from her encounter with killer Jean-Baptiste Chandonne, she takes refuge with a friend only to find a Grand Jury investigation closing in. Blow Fly picks up after her resignation as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner, as she quietly rebuilds a private life and forensic consultancy in Florida, even as an old nemesis resurfaces. In Trace, against her better judgement, she is pulled back to Richmond to consult on a case eerily close to home, a novel that reminded readers why the series has never been bettered since Postmortem first swept the major crime-writing awards. Predator finds Florida crawling with human predators, giving Scarpetta the chance to do what she does best - letting the dead speak - while partner Benton Wesley works a parallel case for the FBI in Boston. Finally, Book of the Dead gives darker meaning to the morgue log for which it's named, as a fresh start after her Florida ordeal proves anything but simple. Across all five novels, Cornwell combines meticulous forensic detail with escalating psychological tension, delivering the authenticity that made Scarpetta a genre-defining phenomenon.

About the Author
Patricia Cornwell sold her first novel, Postmortem, in 1990 while working at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. It won the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony and Macavity Awards, plus the French Prix du Roman d'Aventure, the first book ever to claim all these distinctions in a single year. The Scarpetta series has since become an international phenomenon, earning Cornwell the Sherlock Award for best detective created by an American author, the Gold Dagger Award, the RBA Thriller Award, and the Medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters.
