Postmortem / All That Remains Omnibus – Patricia Cornwell

Description

Postmortem / All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell is a gripping omnibus featuring two intense forensic thrillers from the acclaimed Kay Scarpetta series.

Postmortem, the first book in the series, introduces readers to Dr Kay Scarpetta, the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, as she faces a terrifying serial killer terrorising Richmond. With no witnesses and scant evidence, Scarpetta must rely on cutting-edge forensic science to track down the predator. But as she gets closer to uncovering the truth, she finds herself in the crosshairs of the killer — and a web of sabotage within her own ranks.

In All That Remains, Scarpetta returns to investigate the mysterious disappearances of young couples who vanish without a trace, only to be found brutally murdered. As she delves into the chilling case, she unearths connections to powerful figures and a trail of secrets that some would kill to keep hidden. Cornwell’s forensic expertise shines, offering readers an authentic and suspenseful glimpse into criminal investigations.

Winner of both the Edgar and Anthony Awards, Postmortem is a milestone in the crime thriller genre, praised for its relentless pace and complex protagonist. Fans of forensic mysteries and psychological suspense will be captivated by this riveting omnibus.
