Port Mortuary
Told for the first time in many years from the perspective of Kay Scarpetta herself - and unveiling secrets from her past that have never been revealed
*Unmissable, supersize outdoor advertising campaign *Social media campaign encompassing Facebook, Twitter, author & retailer websites *Innovative digital campaign to place Cornwell at the cutting edge of crime fiction
Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell follows Kay Scarpetta, who has been training at the Dover Port Mortuary, mastering the art of 'virtual autopsy'βa groundbreaking procedure that could soon revolutionise forensic science.
It is not long before these new skills urgently need to be put into practice. A young man drops dead, apparently from a heart condition, eerily close to Scarpetta's home. But when his body is examined the next morning, there are stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked in the cooler.
The revolutionary 3D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen. She realises that this is a case of murder and that she is fighting a cunning and uniquely cruel enemy.
Now it is a race against time to discover who and why before more people die. But that time is running out...
