Description

“A knockout” (People) of a thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta.

“Killing me won’t kill the beast” are the last words of rapist-murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell, written four days before his execution. But they can’t explain how medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds Waddell’s fingerprints on another crime scene—after she’d performed his autopsy. If this is some sort of game, Scarpetta seems to be the target. And if the next victim is someone she knows, the punishment will be cruel and unusual...

    I began reading the Scarletta novels just last week. I'm about 10 years behind I know ! However I have read the first four this week and they, like this title are all fantastic! I feel however old titles like this , that you can pay 5$ for In paperback shouldn't cost 10$ on iTunes. Come down on price and I will buy ten more.
