内容简介

The Book of the Dead is the morgue log, the ledger in which all cases are entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to acquire a new meaning.

Starting over with a unique private forensic pathology practice in the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina, seems like the ideal situation for Scarpetta and her colleagues, Pete Marino and her niece, Lucy. But then come the deaths.

A Sixteen-year-old tennis star, fresh from a tournament with in Charleston, is found nude and mutilated near Piazza Navona in Rome. The body of an abused young boy is dumped in a desolate marsh. A woman is ritualistically murdered in her multimillion-dollar beach home. Meanwhile, in New England, problems with a prominent patient at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital begin to hint at interconnections among the deaths that are as hard to imagine as they are horrible.

Scarpetta has dealt with many brutal and unusual crimes before, but never a string of them as baffling, or as terrifying, as the ones facing her now. before she is through, that book of the dead will contain many names – and the pen may be poised to write her own.

作者简介

Patricia Cornwell is the Director of Applied Forensic Science at the National Forensic Academy. Her most recent number one bestsellers include At Risk, Predator, and Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper – Case Closed. Her earlier work includes Postmortem - the only novel to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards and the French Prix du Romman d"Aventure in a single year – and Cruel & Unusual, which won Britain's prestigious Gold Dagger Award for the best crime novel of 1993. Dr. Kay Scarpetta herself won the 1999 Sherlock Award for the best detective created by an American author.

　　派翠西亚·康薇尔（Patricia Cornwell）把Patricia Cornwell定格为『死亡翻绎人』，并不为过。从1990年开始，以书写法医探案红遍大西洋两岸的侦探小说作家Patricia Cornwell，在成为作家之前，曾经做过地方新闻记者、美国维吉尼亚州Virginia验尸处检验记录员（後来转做电脑分析员）、和地方警务工作，这些独特的经历，成功塑造出一个专业、强悍、经得住科学挑战的女法医Kay Scarpetta，成为Patricia Cornwell法医探案小说系列的主角。作为一个当红畅销作家，Patricia Cornwell的著作既悬疑，又刺激，也能写出法医作为『死亡翻绎人』的角色必要的冷静。
