    Postmortem: The first in the ground-breaking, globally bestselling Kay Scarpetta series

    Patricia Cornwell

    Formats & Editions

    The first book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell - coming soon to Prime Video.

    A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three women have died, brutalised and strangled in their own bedroom. There is no pattern: the killer appears to strike at random - but always early on Saturday mornings.

    So when Dr Kay Scarpetta, chief medical officer, is awakened at 2.33 am, she knows the news is bad: there is a fourth victim. And she fears now for those that will follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to aid the police.

    But not everyone is pleased to see a woman in this powerful job. Someone may even want to ruin her career and reputation . . .

    Enter the world of Dr Kay Scarpetta before Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis bring it to life on screen. And don't miss the newest book in the series, Sharp Force.
