«Il libro dei morti» is the suspense novel by Patricia Cornwell, published by Mondadori in paperback (358 pages, in Italian).
After the case in Florida, Kay Scarpetta moves to Charleston with her niece Lucy and Pete Marino to open a private forensic practice. Sabotage, the suicide of a young millionaire, the ritual murder of a woman, and the corpse of a tortured teenager force her to confront her past and a fate she cannot escape.
It is the fifteenth novel in the Kay Scarpetta series, published in 2008 in the Oscar Grandi Bestsellers collection. Original title: Book of the Dead.
Aimed at thriller and crime novel readers, and at series followers who want to complete Kay Scarpetta's trajectory.
Patricia Cornwell is an American crime writer. She is known for her best-selling novels featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, of which the first was inspired by a series of sensational murders in Richmond, Virginia, where most of the stories are set. The plots are notable for their emphasis on forensic science, which has influenced later TV treatments of police work. Cornwell has also accused Walter Sickert of carrying out the Jack the Ripper killings. However, Sickert is not considered a serious suspect by most who study the case, and strong evidence shows he spent most of 1888 outside the UK, and was in France at the time of most of the Ripper murders. Her books have sold more than 120 million copies.
