In Portrait of a Killer Patricia Cornwell uses the first-hand forensic expertise she has gained through writing the bestselling Dr Kay Scarpetta novels, to re-examine the contemporaneous evidence in the Jack the Ripper murders. Had the investigators of the time been presented with the facts she has unearthed her suspect would definitely have been arrested and would probably have faced trial. He was the artist Walter Sickert.
In The Last Precinct Dr Kay Scarpetta suffers an attack at her home by the most vicious of murderers, only then to find that she herself is under investigation for the murder of deputy police chief Diane Bray. She faces a race against time to unravel the plot against her.
In Black Notice Dr Kay Scarpetta is coming to terms with the appalling death of her lover Benton Wesley. Distraction comes when a decomposed body is discovered on a cargo ship. This discovery takes Scarpetta on a bizarre trail of conspiracy and deceit, and places her and those she holds dear at mortal risk.
