The listing, Book of the dead - by Patricia Cornwell has ended.
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 acquire 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 also 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 lacking local access to competent death investigation and modern day technology.
