Description
With unparalleled high-tension suspense and the latest in forensic technology, Patricia Cornwell once again proves her exceptional ability to surprise—and to thrill—in this electrifying Kay Scarpetta novel.
A body, oddly draped in an unusual cloth, has just been discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT, and it’s suspected the identity is that of missing computer engineering grad student Gail Shipton, last seen the night before at a trendy Cambridge bar. It appears she’s been murdered, mere weeks before the trial in her $100 million lawsuit against her former financial manager, and Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta doubts it’s a coincidence. She also fears the case may have a connection with her computer genius niece, Lucy.
In Dust, Scarpetta and her colleagues are up against a force far more sinister than a sexual predator who fits the criminal classification of a “spectacle killer.” The murder of Gail Shipton soon leads deep into the dark world of designer drugs, drone technology, organized crime, and shocking corruption at the highest levels.

5By Bisch2Love these Kay Scarpetta books and the character development of all of the players.Getting old
2By M wevI haven’t read any of Cornwall’s books that I really used to like. Then they got more into their feelings and desires of each character and it just got old. I thought I’d give this one a try and it seamed like the same story with different dead people.Slow read
1By TedSummersI could not get into this book.Interesting book
3By Fanita67Very good!The Dust
5By SusanannodellI enjoyed the book, it was well written and was a page turner.Slow and uninteresting
2By shellie-beanThe story was slow and uninteresting. Not a page turner and had to force myself through it. Pretty disappointing read.Totally Engrossing!!
5By Smcirish59Once I started reading this runaway circus train of a story I couldn’t put it down. Kay is at her best. Benton is sharp, introspective and intuitive as a BAU leader. Lucy is devilishly clever. The unsub is wildly devolving. The action is nonstop and absorbing. You won’t be able to put this book down until your vision blurs! An absolutely fabulous read!!Mac Dahl ledShe
