    The Scarpetta Factor: Kay Scarpetta, Book 17, Hörbuch, Digital, 440min
    It is the week before Christmas. The effects of the credit crunch have prompted Dr Kay Scarpetta to offer her services pro bono to New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. But in no time at all, her increased visibility seems to precipitate a string of dramatic and unsettling events. She is asked live on air about the sensational case of Hannah Starr, who has vanished and is presumed dead. Moments later during the same broadcast, she receives a startling call-in from a former psychiatric patient of Benton Wesley's. When she returns after the show to the apartment where she and Benton live, she finds a suspicious package - possibly a bomb - waiting for her at the front desk. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a deadly plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionairess with whom Lucy seems to have shared a secret past....

    Book of the Dead: Scarpetta, Book 15, Hörbuch, Digital, 364min
    The "book of the dead" is the morgue log, a ledger in which all cases are entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to take on a new meaning. Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Scarpetta decides it's time for a change of pace. Moving to Charleston, South Carolina, she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and her colleagues, including Pete Marino and her niece, Lucy, offer expert crime-scene investigation and autopsy services to communities lacking local access to competent death investigation and modern technology. It seems like an ideal situation, until the new battles start: with local politicians, with entrenched interests, with someone whose covert attempts at sabotage are clearly meant to run her out of town. And that's before the murders and other violent deaths even begin. A 16-year-old tennis star, fresh from a tourament win in Charleston, is found nude and mutilated near Piazza Navona in Rome. The body of an abused young boy is discovered dumped in a desolate marsh. A woman is found ritualistically murdered in her multimillion-dollar beach home. Meanwhile, in distant New England, problems with a prominent patient at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital begin to hint at interconnections that are as hard to imagine as they are horrible. Scarpetta has dealt with many brutal and unusual crimes before, but never any as baffling, or as terrifying, as the ones confronting her now. Before she is through, that book of the dead will contain many names - and the pen may be poised to write in her own. Language: English. Narrator: Mary Stuart Masterson.

    Totenstarre / Kay Scarpetta Bd.24 (eBook, ePUB)
    Es ist ein idyllischer Sommerabend in Cambridge, Massachusetts, an dem Doctor Kay Scarpetta zu der Leiche einer Radfahrerin in einem Park gerufen wird. Der Körper ist starr, doch die junge Frau kann noch nicht lange tot sein. Teile der Kleidung wurden ihr vom Körper gerissen, doch nicht von Menschenhand. Die goldene Totenkopfkette ist noch da, doch sie hat sich in die Haut der jungen Frau eingebrannt. Alles deutet auf einen Blitzschlag hin, doch es gab kein Gewitter. Noch ahnt Scarpetta nicht, dass diese mysteriöse Leiche auch mit ihr zu tun hat. Dass sie eine tödliche Nachricht von einem Menschen ist, der von Hass zerfressen ist - und der nicht aufhören wird, bis er am Ziel ist. "Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite Spannung pur. Wieder ein geniales Werk der beliebten Autorin. Das ihr Schreibstil auch diesmal perfekt ist, muss man wohl nicht erwähnen. Es handelt sich eben um eine Toperzählerin." (Magazin Köllefornia) "Patricia Cornwell führt auch im 24. Teil der Kay-Scarpetta-Serie ihre erfolgreiche Mischung aus forensischer Spurensuche und raffiniert konstruierter Thrilleraction fort. Und überrascht Fans wie Neueinsteiger mit der ungewöhnlichsten Mordwaffe seit langem." (kulturnews) "Patricia Cornwells Bücher sind in 36 Sprachen in 120 Ländern erschienen, damit gilt sie als eine der erfolgreichsten Spannungsautorinnen der Welt. Eine Meisterin der Forensik! Auch ihr neuer Roman lässt Adrenalin aufkommen (...)." (Bremer) "Keiner reicht an Cornwell heran, wenn es um Forensik geht." New York Times Book Review über TOTENSTARRE "Dunkel und klug geplottet." Booklist über TOTENSTARRE "Cornwells Romane preschen voran mit leistungsstarkem Treibstoff, einem Cocktail aus Adrenalin und Furcht." The Times, London über TOTENSTARRE

    Cause of Death: Kay Scarpetta Series, Book 7, Hörbuch, Digital, 483min
    It's New Year's Eve, the final night of Virginia's bloodiest year since the Civil War, and another poor soul has turned up dead. Ted Eddings, a scuba diver and investigative reporter who was a favorite at the medical examiner's office, is found 30 feet below the Elizabeth River's icy surface. Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner for the state of Virginia, can't help but wonder why she received a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified. Was Eddings probing the frigid depths of the Inactive Ship Yard for a story or simply diving for sunken trinkets? With the advent of a second murder - this one hitting even closer to home - the case envelops Scarpetta, her niece Lucy, and Police Captain Pete Marino in a world where both cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned detective work are critical offensive weapons. Together, they follow the trail of violence to its forbidding and unexpected source. Language: English. Narrator: C. J. Critt.

    Dust: Scarpetta, Book 21 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 847min
    After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike. A preliminary examination in the sea of red mud where the body has been left also reveals a bizarre residue that fluoresces blood red, emerald green, and sapphire blue. Physical evidence links the case to a series of uniquely weird homicides in Washington, D.C., where Scarpetta's FBI husband has been deployed to help capture a serial killer dubbed the Capital Murderer. The cases all connect and yet seem to conflict. Gail Shipman was murdered for financial gain - or was she? It will require the usual ensemble of characters to find out the truth, including Scarpetta's sidekick Pete Marino, who has undergone a drastic change in his life that places him center stage in a Cambridge investigation that puts everyone at risk. ungekürzt.
