»En spännande deckare, men också historiskt intressant med den tidens kriminalteknik som förebådar tv-serier som CSI.« | Lotta Olsson, DN
»USA:s läskigaste och mest fängslande kriminalförfattare.« | The Times
I Richmond, Virginia slår en monstruös förövare till i skydd av mörkret, och lämnar efter sig ett vedervärdigt spår av strypmord som paralyserar staden.Rättsläkaren Kay Scarpetta förväntar sig det värsta: ett välplanerat fälttåg utfört av en briljant seriemördare vars signatur inte ger några tydliga ledtrådar. Med ett osvikligt öga för detaljer tar Scarpetta hjälp av de senaste kriminaltekniska rönen för att försöka demaskera mördaren.Men det är en utredning som kommer att sätta Scarpetta på prov som ingen annan, eftersom den verkar vara utsatt för sabotage inifrån - och för att någon vill se henne död.I svensk översättning av Erik Andersson.

Någon är ute efter Beryl Madison. Någon som ringer obehagliga, skrämmande samtal. Beryl flyr till Key West för att slippa undan, men återvänder så småningom till sitt hem i Richmond, Virginia. Där, i vad som borde vara en trygg vrå, hittas hon mördad, knivskuren till döds. Rättsöverläkaren Kay Scarpetta dras in i en svår utredning och måste försöka rekonstruera Beryls sista tid i livet. Varför öppnade Beryl dörren för en främling? Hur såg hennes relation ut till en prisad författare? Och varför saknas hennes eget manuskript? Kay måste pussla samman ledtrådarna: ett pussel som leder henne mot mördaren som väntar i skuggorna. Utredningen förvandlas snart till en fasa, inte minst för Kay själv. Indicier är den andra, fristående boken om Kay Scarpetta och en av Cornwells verkliga spänningsklassiker.

Unga älskande dör i Richmond, Virginia. Hittills har fyra par försvunnit. Flera månader efteråt har deras kroppar hittats i skogen, brutalt stympade. När dottern till en högt uppsatt politiker försvinner - hon har tillsatts för att försöka få bukt med droghandeln - vet rättsläkaren Kay Scarpetta att det är ont om tid. Hon följer en makaber beviskedja som binder ihop nutida mord med otäcka brott i det förgångna. Samtidigt förstår hon att polisen hemlighåller viktig bevisföring. Kay måste nu använda sina egna resurser för att jaga en mördare som är lika skicklig på att dölja ledtrådar som hon är på att hitta dem. Allt som återstår är Patricia Cornwells tredje, fristående bok om Kay Scarpetta. I översättning av Karl G. och Lilian Fredriksson.

'Let's start, and end, with this: Patricia Cornwell's autobiography, True Crime, could be the best book she's ever written. And I've read them all!' JAMES PATTERSON'Patricia Cornwell's memoir is a personal page turner, filled with mysteries and tragedies like her fiction, but these characters are real' JAMIE LEE CURTISThe No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell finally tells the story that rivals all of the works that precede it: her own.Patricia Cornwell is best known for her international bestselling thriller series about forensic pathologist Dr Kay Scarpetta. Every story comes from somewhere, and Scarpetta's began when Patricia Cornwell embedded herself in a morgue.In this achingly honest memoir, Cornwell excavates her own life, detailing her traumatic childhood being raised by neglectful parents, her father abandoning the young family on Christmas day, her mother being institutionalised twice, an abusive foster family, and developing a parental relationship with evangelist Billy Graham's wife Ruth. Cornwell depicts a harrowing hospitalisation and near-death car accident. She unflinchingly shares overcoming obstacles that later gave her the ambition to become an award-winning police reporter. From there it was research in a medical examiner's office that would turn into a full-time job. She would become a forensic expert and worldwide publishing phenomenon.Cornwell leaves no stone unturned in this deeply candid account of her life, offering inspiring insight into what made her into the international sensation she is today.'A memoir with all the thrills and twists - not to mention a bit of blood and terror - of one of Cornwell's thrillers' VAL MCDERMID'Cornwell brings a deft hand and her well-honed storytelling skills to the circumstances of her own fascinating life' DAVID BALDACCI'The story behind the storyteller is captivating, thrilling, heartbreaking and truly inspiring' CHRIS WHITAKER'Unflinching, unfiltered, fearless. True Crime is a fascinating, insightful page-turner. I loved it' ANDREA MARA
