Summary
Patricia Cornwell: Autopsy
In Richmond, Virginia, a serial killer breaks into the apartments of single women in the wee hours of the night from Friday to Saturday, ties them up, tortures, rapes and kills them, then disappears without a trace. And while police lieutenant Pete Marino and Benton Wesley, the FBI's specialist in the psychology of criminals, go around trying to penetrate the disturbed mind of the killer, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the head of forensic pathology, uses the alchemy of intuition and deduction to put together a puzzle that will bring the villain to the window of her own home. In this extremely suspenseful novel, the only one that has ever received all the prestigious American awards for the best crime story of the year, Patricia D. Cornwell has authentically portrayed the Sherlock Holmes of the new age. Using the experience she gained as a journalist of the black chronicle and a computer specialist in forensic pathology, Patricia D. Cornwell created a striking character of a doctor who, using the most modern technology available to the American judiciary, untangles an intricate tangle of crimes. The novel "Autopsy" won the "Edgar", "Creasy", "Anthony" and "MacAvity" awards for the best crime novel of the year in the USA and the "Prix du Roman d'Aventure" in France.
