A tanking economy has prompted Dr. Kay Scarpetta--despite her busy schedule and her continuing work as the senior forensic analyst for CNN--to offer her services pro bono to New York City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. In no time at all, her increased visibility seems to precipitate a string of unexpected and unsettling events, culminating in an ominous package--possibly a bomb--showing up at the front desk of the apartment building where she and her husband, Benton, live. Soon the apparent threat on Scarpetta's life finds her embroiled in a surreal plot that includes a famous actor accused of an unthinkable sex crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionaire with whom her niece, Lucy, seems to have shared a secret past. <p/>Scarpetta's CNN producer wants her to launch a TV show called <i>The Scarpetta Factor</i>. Given the bizarre events already in play, she fears that her growing fame will generate the illusion that she has a "special factor," a mythical ability to solve all her cases. She wonders if she will end up like other TV personalities: her own stereotype. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>The Scarpetta Factor</i></b> <p/>"[An] insistent and gripping thriller."--<i>The Star-Ledger</i> <p/>"A finely crafted, pulse-racing thriller that readers won't wantto put down."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Patricia Cornwell</b> is considered one of the world's bestselling crime writers.
