The last precinct

The last precinct. Chandonne has been arrested. But Scarpetta's problems are just beginning. We enter The last Precinct through the reverberating aftershocks of Black Notice, inconceivably finding Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta an object of suspicion - and criminal investigation. And the nightmare perpetuated on Scarpetta's doorstep continues as she discovers that the so-called Werewolf murders may have extended to New York City and into the darkest corners of her past. When a formidable prosecutor, a female assistant district attorney from New York, is brought into the case, Scarpetta must struggle to make what she knows to be the truth prevail against mounting and unnerving evidence to the contrary. Tested in every way, she turns inwards to ask where do you go when there is nowhere left? The answer is The Last Precinct. By the end of the novel, it is clear that Scarpetta's life can never be the same. Woven through with extraordinary forensic detail, the larger than life presence of Scarpetta's niece Lucy and her colleague Captain Pete Marino, and a palpable sense of fear that keeps readers looking back - into the past for clues, and over their shoulders for the next enigmatic at of violence - The Last Precinct marks a new era for Kay Scarpetta and a triumphant achievement for Patricia Cornwell.
