  <default_description>When convicted killer Ronnie Joe Waddell is executed in Virginia's electric chair, he becomes what should be a routine postmortem case for Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. But after Waddell's execution, the murders continue, as everyone connected to him begins to die-including a member of Scarpetta's staff. Then, when crucial records begin to disappear from her files, Scarpetta comes under fire for incompetence. Caught in a web of political intrigue, betrayed by those she trusted, Scarpetta must fight to free herself from murderous insinuations&amp;#8212and threats to her own life, To save her career, Scarpetta soon finds herself retracing Waddell's bloody footprints, following a trail that might lead to long&amp;#8212hidden secrets deep within the state government. Either the truth will set her free&amp;#8212or unleash upon her a punishment both cruel and unusual.

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of Cornwell's earlier ones before Kay Scarpetta began her affair with Benton, before we find out that Lucy is gay, before Marino becomes too difficult to bear, and before I started getting tired of the whole thing.  All in all I really enjoyed my trip back to the early Scarpetta.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not a mystery novel type person, but find that Patricia Cornwell's books are quite easy reads -- well, unless they are too gruesome--I can't handle that. This one was fun to read. I think I'll go back to the beginning of the Scarpetta series and read those 3. <br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There is a ... fairly major thing that happens in this book.  Or rather, is reported to have happened.  I think that not having it be a part of the plot in a more up-front way short-changes the reader in terms of watching the protagonist's character development happen.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A fun thriller with lots of twists and turns.  Dr. Scarpetta ends up in front of a grand jury as a suspect in the murder of an employee.  <br/><br/>The story is told first person by Dr. Scarpetta and I resent that she withholds from the reader information that she obviously knows.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great Scarpetta novel - I am rereading all of these and I highly reccomend them to anyone who is into the the murder mystery/thriller/forensic types of books. I love rereading them now that I am in Nursing School - the forensics maks a lot more sense now... ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started reading the Scarpetta series a long, long time ago and loved them. Now, not so much. I feel that medical detective fiction has gotten a lot more realistic that this series feels somewhat dated. I'm sorry, Patricia!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Couldn't guess this one...well only partly.  I like the fact that the characters are living in between the books.  Makes them more real.  I like it that the books just don't take up right when the last one ends.  I think I'll read more.]]></body>
