ONE OF TIME 'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME The inspiration for the hit Amazon Prime Video series Scarpetta ---starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis! From #1 New York Times bestselling author and "queen of forensic fiction" (Los Angeles Times ) Patricia Cornwell comes Postmortem, the groundbreaking thriller that introduced Dr. Kay Scarpetta and redefined the crime genre.
