Identity Unknown by Patricia Cornwell Hardcover Book

Description: Identity Unknown by Patricia Cornwell "Identity Unknown is hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring." - Chris Whitaker Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead. And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message... Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with. The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordanos skin is strangely red. Scarpettas niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the deads secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue. As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil... FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography In 1990, Patricia Cornwell sold her first novel, Postmortem, while working at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. An auspicious debut, it went on to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity Awards, as well as the French Prix du Roman dAventures--the first book ever to claim all these distinctions in a single year. Growing into an international phenomenon, the Scarpetta series won Cornwell the Sherlock Award for best detective created by an American author, the Gold Dagger Award, the RBA Thriller Award, and the Medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contributions to literary and artistic development. Today, Cornwells novels and iconic characters are known around the world. Beyond the Scarpetta series, Cornwell has written the definitive nonfiction account of Jack the Rippers identity, cookbooks, a childrens book, a biography of Ruth Graham, and three other fictional series based on the characters Win Garano, Andy Brazil, and Captain Calli Chase. Cornwell continues exploring the latest space-age technologies and threats relevant to contemporary life. Her interests range from the morgue to artificial intelligence and include visits to Interpol, the Pentagon, the U.S. Secret Service, and NASA. Cornwell was born in Miami. She grew up in Montreat, North Carolina, and now lives and works in Boston. Review "Iconic. Bold. Brilliant. Identity Unknown is hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring. Scalpel-sharp storytelling, trademark twists and characters that feel like family, this series is one of the all-time greats." - Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark --Chris Whitaker Details ISBN1538770385 Pages 400 Publisher Grand Central Publishing Series Kay Scarpetta Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781538770382 Format Hardcover Imprint Grand Central Publishing Audience General Publication Date 2024-10-08 DEWEY 813.54 Author Patricia Cornwell We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
