Black Notice – Patricia Cornwell

Description

Black Notice by Patricia Cornwell is the 10th book in the Kay Scarpetta series. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia, is drawn into an international mystery when a cargo ship from Belgium arrives at the Deep Water Terminal carrying a locked, sealed container. Inside, she discovers the decomposed remains of a stowaway, with no clear cause of death and no immediate identification.

Despite the initial lack of clues, a personal effect and a distinctive tattoo lead Scarpetta on a search that takes her to Interpol’s headquarters in Lyon, France. She is instructed to visit the Paris morgue to collect secret evidence, setting in motion a dangerous mission that could ruin her career. As the investigation unfolds, Scarpetta is plunged into a perilous situation, where she and her loved ones are placed at mortal risk.
