In 'The Scarpetta Factor', Dr. Kay Scarpetta, despite her busy schedule as a forensic analyst for CNN, offers her free services to the New York Office of the Chief Medical Examiner during the week before Christmas. Her growing public presence triggers a series of disturbing and unexpected events. On television, she is asked about the disappearance of Hannah Starr, and shortly after, she receives a surprising call from a former psychiatric patient of her husband. Upon returning home, she finds a sinister package, possibly a bomb, in the concierge. The threats to Scarpetta's life are intertwined in a surreal plot involving a famous actor accused of an unimaginable sex crime and the disappearance of a millionaire with whom her niece, Lucy, may have shared a secret past. In addition, a CNN producer offers Scarpetta the opportunity to head a program called 'The Scarpetta Factor', leading her to question whether accepting the offer will turn her into a caricature of herself, as has happened with other television celebrities.
Patricia Cornwell is an American writer and a pioneer of the forensic thriller, best known for her series featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta.
