Dust by Patricia Cornwell
Dust by Patricia Cornwell is a forensic crime thriller that finds Massachusetts chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta investigating the death of a young woman discovered near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The unusual presentation of the body and the evidence at the scene suggest possible links to other deaths—and to a threat operating beyond the boundaries of a single investigation.
Working alongside Pete Marino, Benton Wesley, and Lucy Farinelli, Scarpetta follows a trail involving advanced technology, institutional power, and a killer who may be using the system to remain hidden.
The twenty-first Kay Scarpetta novel delivers a tense combination of forensic science, conspiracy, and personal danger.
