When the revolutionary 3D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen, she realizes that this is a case of murder - and that she is fighting a cunning and uniquely cruel enemy. Now it is a race against time to discover who and why before more people die. But that time is running out . . .

Port Mortuary
Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite writers, but this book wasn't as interesting as most of her novels have been. I coldn't quite catch what it was missing, but, usually, I can't put one of her books down until I've finished it and this one dragged on a bit.

Another Great Read
Ms. Cornwell has done again. Port Mortuary is an awesome book. I enjoyed the technical details about the "virtual autopsy" and "the flybot". Port Mortuary also goes into the secret past of Dr. Scarpetta and Jack Fielding. Port Mortuary is well written and a real page turner. I could not put it down.
