«La jota de corazones» is the crime novel by Patricia D. Cornwell, published by Bolsillo Byblos in paperback (400 pages, in Spanish).
In Richmond, Virginia, several young couples disappear and later turn up as mutilated corpses. When the daughter of the president's new drug czar disappears with her boyfriend, Dr. Kay Scarpetta follows a trail linking those crimes to one from the past. The killer erases his tracks with the same skill with which she finds them.
It is the third instalment in the Kay Scarpetta series; the translation is by Jordi Mustieles and the original title, All That Remains.
Aimed at readers of crime fiction and forensic suspense, with a recurring protagonist who sustains a long police saga.
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.
