‘Patricia Cornwell, through her character Kay Scarpetta, was the first to introduce authentic, detailed forensic science and pathology into crime writing, and with Rapid and Fatal, she is still No1’ Multi-million selling author Lynda La Plante 

THE PERFECT MURDER LOOKS LIKE AN ACCIDENT.

To stop a diabolical series of mysterious murders, Dr Kay Scarpetta must hunt a killer who leaves no trace, in the newest thriller from international #1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.

A billionaire husband and wife, founders of an elite security firm, are found dead in their Virginia mansion. Their deaths appear to be a tragic case of anaphylaxis, and with no signs of forced entry, violence or foul play, the explanation seems clear: a terrible accident.

But Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta knows better.

When she uncovers a link between the couple and another body in her morgue, her worst fears are confirmed: these deaths were anything but accidental. As Scarpetta follows the forensic evidence, she is drawn into a world of wealth, power, corruption and murder.

Only a highly sophisticated killer could make murder look natural – and only Scarpetta can stop the monster before he strikes again.

For fans of gripping crime fiction, forensic thrillers and bestselling murder mysteries, this explosive new Kay Scarpetta novel delivers Patricia Cornwell at her most chilling and compelling.
