2011 • 1,907 pages

Five action-packed thrillers in the #1 New York Times bestselling Scarpetta series: Cause of Death, Unnatural Exposure, Point of Origin, and Trace. “Cornwell remains the master of incorporating real-life science into pulse-pounding fiction.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer IN DEVELOPMENT AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES SCARPETTA STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS Cause of Death: On New Year’s Eve, Dr. Kay Scarpetta plunges into the depths of the Elizabeth River to recover the very human remains of an investigative reporter. With the advent of a second murder—this one closer to home—the case envelops Scarpetta and those closest to her in a web of danger and threatens to wreak fear and death far beyond Virginia. Unnatural Exposure: When Dr. Kay Scarpetta determines that a murder victim was exposed to a rare smallpox-like virus before she died and, later, that she herself may have been infected, she realizes that she is up against a killer with access to an incredibly sophisticated arsenal of deadly force. Point of Origin: Picking through the wreckage of a devastating fire, Dr. Kay Scarpetta uncovers human remains. When Scarpetta learns that her old nemesis, Carrie Grethen, has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is somehow involved, the investigation becomes personal. Black Notice: A cargo ship arriving from Belgium holds a locked, sealed container with the decomposed remains of a stowaway. Dr. Kay Scarpetta initially finds neither cause of death nor an identification. But the victim’s personal effects and an odd tattoo take Scarpetta on an international hunt that could ruin her career—and places her and the ones she holds dear at mortal risk. Trace: While investigating the death of a teen girl, Dr. Kay Scarpetta must work with the smallest pieces of evidence—traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. Now she must follow the twisting leads and tracks the strange details in order to make the dead speak. . . .
