#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A psychopath with an intimate knowledge of death has a personal vendetta against Kay Scarpetta--and many different plans to kill her. . . . "Cornwell remains the master of incorporating real-life science into pulse-pounding fiction."--The Philadelphia Inquirer IN DEVELOPMENT AS THE ORIGINAL SERIES SCARPETTA STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS Dr. Kay Scarpetta is newly retired from Dublin, where she was called in to examine the remains of a murder victim whose limbs and head were expertly severed--a signature of a cunning killer on the loose again after an eight-year sabbatical--when the same killer apparently strikes again, this time much closer to home. After Scarpetta investigates the murder scene, the killer boldly contacts her through the Internet, inviting her to download photos of the murder victim and signing off with a chilling screen name: deadoc With the help of her niece, Lucy, an FBI computer expert, she takes an extraordinary virtual tour of the background of the emailed photos. When Scarpetta determines that the victim was exposed to a rare smallpox-like virus before she died and, later, that she herself may have been infected, she realizes that she is up against a killer with access to an incredibly sophisticated arsenal of deadly force--a killer with specific animus directed toward her.

Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 2, 2005

Once again Patricia Cornwell does not dissapoint her avid reading fans with "Unnatural Exposure". This is the second time I have read all of her novels except the latest one that just came out in 2005. I turned 50 this year and treated myself to all of her collection in hardback. I have to honestly say she is my favorite writer...hands down. This novel just like any of hers is facinatingly detailed with forensic discoveries...

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 25, 2001

I just got bored one day and I read P. Cornwell's 'Unnatural Exposure.' It's a compelling story and has a great plot. However, I ended up being right about who the psycho was. However, it was still a good book......

Great Novel!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 22, 2001

I personally loved the book. The involvement of mystery with the Internet and killings drew me to the book even more. Every time you turn the page you just have to keep reading to find out what will happen next. Cornwell is a very graphic writer, which makes you even more engrossed into the story line. When Cornwell wrote about the email messages and notes the DEADOC (the killer) it brought fear into you. At one point, I had...

Patricia Cornwell's Best Work

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 16, 1999

This is the first novel I read by Patricia Cornwell. It is my favourite of all her novels. This book deals with Wesley's and Scarpetta's on/off relationship. The plot revolves around a dismembered body found in a dump, but expands in many directions with lots of action with Scarpetta getting inadvertantly caught up in a dangerous situation. This book is definitely a good read as it never goes through a slow or boring patch...
