Nu moet ook Kay Scarpetta, patholoog-anatoom in Richmond, Virginia, een beroep doen op Het eindstation, de organisatie waarbij haar nichtje Lucy Farinelli betrokken is. Kay wordt beschuldigd van moord. Het moordwapen waarmee politiecommissaris Diane Bray op brute wijze om het leven is gebracht, wordt aangetroffen in haar huis en de bewijzen tegen Kay stapelen zich op... `Cornwell schrijft vanuit de diepe overtuiging dat de werkelijkheid de ergste nachtmerries in gruwelijkheid overtreft en excelleert als ze de menselijke geest ontrafelt.' de Volkskrant over Kay Scarpetta-thriller Doodsoorzaak

An intriguing Dr Kay Scarpetta novel which will take Kay an ocean's breadth away from home. The case begins when a cargo ship arriving at Richmond, Virginia's Deep Water Terminal from Belgium is discovered to be transporting a locked, sealed container holding the decomposed remains of a stowaway. The post mortem performed by the Chief Medical Examiner, Kay Scarpetta, initially reveals neither a cause of death nor an identification. But the victim's personal effects and an odd tattoo take Scarpetta on a hunt for information that leads to Interpol's headquarters in Lyon, where she receives critical instructions: go to the Paris morgue to receive secret evidence and then return to Virginia to carry out a mission. It is a mission that could ruin her career. In a story which crosses international borders, BLACK NOTICE puts Dr Kay Scarpetta directly in harm's way and places her and those she holds dear at mortal risk.

A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared ... Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives, Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in ... Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta the investigation of a crime that is as convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would Beryl open the door to someone who brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her? Did she know her killer? Adding to the intrigue is Beryl's enigmatic relationship with a prize-winning author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta retraces Beryl's footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her own.
