The Bone Bed – Patricia Cornwell

Description

The Bone Bed by Patricia Cornwell is the gripping twentieth instalment in the internationally bestselling Kay Scarpetta series. Blending forensic thriller and crime fiction, this novel sees Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta confronting one of her most perplexing cases yet. A palaeontologist mysteriously vanishes while excavating a dinosaur bone bed in Canada’s remote wilderness — and inexplicably, evidence linked to her disappearance lands in Scarpetta’s Boston inbox, over two thousand miles away.

As Scarpetta digs deeper, she uncovers connections between this baffling case and a series of brutal crimes much closer to home. With those she trusts most — including her niece Lucy, investigator Pete Marino, and FBI profiler Benton Wesley — acting strangely, Scarpetta finds herself more isolated than ever. Navigating a chilling trail of evidence from prehistoric creatures to modern-day murders, she faces a killer whose cruelty knows no limits.
