Overview:
This brand-new paperback set brings together five consecutive instalments in Patricia Cornwell's bestselling Kay Scarpetta series - books six through ten. Featuring From Potter's Field, Cause of Death, Unnatural Exposure, Point of Origin and Black Notice, the collection follows Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner through her most tightly plotted, forensically detailed cases. A strong pick for readers working through the series, or for gifting to a Scarpetta fan.
About the Books:
From Potter's Field opens with a body found in Central Park, pulling Scarpetta back into the orbit of a killer she thought she had stopped. Cause of Death takes her beneath the freezing Elizabeth River to investigate a reporter's death, exposing a conspiracy linked to a nuclear facility. Unnatural Exposure connects a brutal Virginia murder to a mysterious virus outbreak with international reach, forcing Scarpetta to work across borders. Point of Origin centres on a devastating fire at a Virginia horse farm, testing her forensic skill against an adversary tied to her own past. Black Notice closes the set with a decomposed body found in a sealed shipping container on the Richmond docks, sending Scarpetta on a covert investigation reaching Interpol's Lyon headquarters. Across all five books, Cornwell draws on her own background working with a medical examiner's office to bring real credibility to the autopsy table, crime scene and courtroom. The continuing relationships between Scarpetta, FBI profiler Benton Wesley, detective Pete Marino and her niece Lucy add emotional depth, with plot threads building naturally across the run. Readers who enjoy procedural detail and a sharp, driven lead will find this stretch among the series' strongest.
