Description
This omnibus edition pairs Postmortem and All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell, the first and third novels in the Kay Scarpetta series. In Postmortem, Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta is introduced as she confronts a ruthless killer terrorising Richmond, Virginia, blending cutting-edge forensic science with a tense psychological hunt. Scarpetta must navigate not only the killer’s devious traps but also internal and external obstacles threatening her life.

Across both novels, Cornwell delivers meticulous investigative detail, a deep understanding of criminal psychology, and relentless suspense, crafting stories where every clue counts and every decision carries danger. Set in contemporary Richmond, these thrillers explore themes of justice, obsession, and the persistence of evil. Ideal for adult readers drawn to forensic procedural drama, intense psychological tension, and masterfully plotted crime narratives.
