Since Postmortem garnered critical acclaim and a record-breaking five awards for a first crime novel, the Scarpetta novels have often been imitated, but never bettered. Against her own judgement and the advice of Benton Wesley and her niece, Lucy, Scarpetta agrees to return to Virginia as a consultant pathologist on a case involving the death of a fourteen-year-old girl. Accompanied by Pete Marino she finds the once familiar territory of her morgue and her department much changed, and the new Chief Medical Examiner treats her with disdain despite the obvious fact that he is in desperate need of her expertise. But professional as ever, she re-examines the evidence and proves the girl was murdered. She also finds trace evidence which matches that found on an accident victim and at the scene where one of Lucy's operatives was attacked. It is not only a forensic puzzle, but opens up the probability that someone is after those closest to Scarpetta. Visit the author's website at www.patriciacornwell.com

Titel: Trace

Genre: Crime Fiction

Sammendrag: Five years after being sacked as Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Kay Scarpetta returns to Richmond, Virginia as a Consultant Pathologist to solve the mysterious death of a teenage girl. Gilly Paulsson's death has stumped the best in the business, with no obvious cause and nothing suspicious except that Gilly shouldn't be dead. Scarpetta uncovers trace evidence: Gilly Paulsson was murdered. But why? Scarpetta's niece, Lucy Farinelli, doesn't want her to get involved as one of her operatives has been attacked. As the mystery unfolds, the case transforms from a forensic puzzle into something much larger, with the shadow of revenge looming large.
