    Der zwanzigste Fall für Kay Scarpetta, "eine der ungewöhnlichsten Krimiheldinnen". Der Spiegel Eine verschwundene Paläontologin, von der nur noch das Foto ihres abgeschnittenen Ohrs existiert. Und die Mumie einer Frau, die im Bostoner Hafen gefunden wird. Dr. Kay Scarpetta bekommt es mit einer ebenso düsteren wie bizarren Mordserie zu tun, die sie selbst in größte Schwierigkeiten bringt. Kay Scarpetta ist als Zeugin im Prozess gegen einen Öl-Tycoon geladen, dem der Mord an seiner spurlos verschwundenen Ehefrau vorgeworfen wird. Wenige Stunden zuvor musste die berühmte Rechtsmedizinerin noch unter schwierigsten Umständen die mumifizierte Leiche einer Frau aus dem Bostoner Hafen bergen. Handelt es sich bei der Toten um die vermisste Industriellengattin? Diese Frage stellt sich auch die Anwältin des Angeklagten, die alles daran setzt, Scarpettas Reputation zu untergraben. Fieberhaft beginnt die Rechtsmedizinerin mit der Untersuchung der Mumie. Daneben machen ihr noch ganz andere Probleme zu schaffen: Ihr Chefermittler Pete Marino gerät unter Mordverdacht, und ihr Ehemann Benton Wesley scheint sich von ihr abzuwenden. Steuert Kay Scarpetta auf eine berufliche und private Katastrophe zu?

    Carrie Grethen, partner in crime to William Temple Gault, has escaped from prison. Before she does so, she sends Kay Scarpetta a message that makes it all too clear she blames her for Gault's death, and has specific, if cryptic, plans for revenge. Wary and quite shaken, Scarpetta still has to get on with an investigation into the death of an unknown female in a fire that has destroyed the isolated farmhouse home of her erstwhile political boss. The post mortem reveals that the woman was stabbed before the fire was started, but while Scarpetta and her colleagues are puzzling over means and motive, they are called out to the scene of another fire and another murder. The pattern is the same, the answers as elusive, and then Benton disappears while following up a tip-off. With appalling clarity, Scarpetta sees that Carrie has set up a scenario in which she can manipulate them all - and in which she appears to have the lethal upper hand. Language: English. Narrator: Joan Allen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/twuk/000103/bk_twuk_000103_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    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 14-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. Language: English. Narrator: Carolyn McCormick.

    Als Kay Scarpetta nach einem furchtbaren Einsatz an ihr Institut zurückkehrt, wartet gleich der nächste Fall auf sie: eine in Leinenstoff eingewickelte Frauenleiche, die man auf dem Campusgelände gefunden hat. Es handelt sich um die Informatikstudentin Gail Shipton, die zuletzt in einer beliebten Bar gesehen wurde, in der auch Scarpettas Nichte Lucy gern verkehrt. Ein Zufall? Die forensische Untersuchung legt nahe, dass die Studentin Opfer eines Serienmörders wurde. Bei ihren Ermittlungen gerät Kay Scarpetta in eine Welt, die von modernster Überwachungstechnologie und Designerdrogen beherrscht wird. Noch bedrohlicher allerdings scheint der tiefe Sumpf von organisierter Kriminalität und Korruption auf höchster Ebene, auf den sie bei ihren Ermittlungen stößt. deutsch.

    The new Kay Scarpetta novel from the world's #1 bestselling crime writer. Determined to find out what happened to her former deputy chief, Jack Fielding, murdered six months earlier, Kay Scarpetta travels to the Georgia Prison for Women, where an inmate has information not only on Fielding, but also on a string of grisly killings. The murder of an Atlanta family years ago, a young woman on death row, and the inexplicable deaths of homeless people as far away as California seem unrelated. But Scarpetta discovers connections that compel her to conclude that what she thought ended with Fielding's death and an attempt on her own life is only the beginning of something far more destructive: a terrifying terrain of conspiracy and potential terrorism on an international scale. And she is the only one who can stop it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kate Burton. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/001811/bk_peng_001811_sample.mp3.

    Florida is full of human predators, and they all give Dr. Kay Scarpetta the opportunity and the means to do what she does best, persuading the dead to speak to her. And in Boston, Benton Wesley is working on a secret case involving convicted killers. It is a project which gives Scarpetta deep disquiet, as does the behaviour of her niece, Lucy, who is spending too much time in cheap bars looking for casual pick-ups. The Academy is called when a woman's body is found in Boston. She has been tortured, sexually abused, her body tattooed with handprints. The same sort of handprints Lucy had seen on the flesh of her latest pick-up. Meanwhile, Scarpetta and Marino are investigating the disappearance of a family in Florida, called in by a concerned neighbour, but as they search and find the tell-tale signs of abduction rather than disappearance, they also discover that someone had assumed the identity of the caller, and she is now dead. They've been set up, and it becomes clear that someone is tracking their every move. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Stuart Masterson.

    Es ist ein idyllischer Sommerabend in Cambridge, Massachusetts, an dem Dr. Kay Scarpetta zu einer Radfahrerin in einem Park gerufen wird. Die Leiche ist starr, doch die junge Frau kann noch nicht lange tot sein. Teile der Kleidung sind ihr vom Körper gerissen, doch nicht von Menschenhand. Die goldene Totenkopfkette der jungen Frau hat sich in die Haut eingebrannt. Alles deutet auf einen Blitzschlag hin, doch es gab kein Gewitter. Noch ahnt Scarpetta nicht, dass diese Leiche auch mit ihr zu tun hat. Dass sie eine tödliche Nachricht von einem Menschen ist, der von Hass zerfressen ist.
