Depraved Heart

While the author credit seems amiss (this is actually Patricia Cornwell's gripping thriller!), Depraved Heart delivers forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta at her finest. A death that looks like an accident unravels into something far more sinister, with cutting-edge technology and psychological warfare at play. Cornwell's trademark precision and unrelenting pace make this impossible to put down. Perfect for crime fiction devotees who love their mysteries dark, smart, and deliciously complex.
