Flesh And Blood

Patricia Cornwell

Kay Scarpetta never does anything by half measures and when the medical examiner becomes the subject of a killer’s interest, the outcome can’t be a pleasant one.

What she has to do here is prevent those closest to her or even the famous doctor herself from becoming the latest passenger to take a one-way ride on a stretcher. What she can’t factor in is those closest to her — Marino, Lucy and Benton — keeping her in the dark, mistakenly trying to protect her by starving her of information.
