Postmortem - Kay Scarpetta Book 1 (Unabridged)

Richmond, Virginia: a serial killer is on the loose. Dr Kay Scarpetta is called in to help track the killer. The first book in the internationally bestselling Kay Scarpetta series.

Under cover of night in Richmond, Virginia, a human monster strikes, leaving a gruesome trail of stranglings that has paralysed the city.

Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman.

But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it’s being sabotaged from within – and someone wants her dead.
