About This Book
"In this return to the luridly fascinating world of Dr. Kay Scarpetta,
Cornwell delivers the goods."
--Publishers Weekly
When the body of an elderly woman is found dismembered in a Virginia landfill,
forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta initially believes that the clues mirror that
of a serial killer she's encountered before. But upon further investigation she
discovers puzzling pox-like eruptions on the woman's body that, perhaps, point
in another direction.
The killer then contacts Scarpetta via e-mail, and she enlists the aid of her
computer-savvy niece, Lucy, to help track this monster through cyberspace. When
Scarpetta learns that the Virginia victim was exposed to a high-tech virus that
might unleash an epidemic, she begins to realize that she's dealing with a
sophisticated and devious mind.
Her investigation leads her to the government's biological defense facility in
Utah and to Atlanta's Center for Disease Control--and eventually to quarantine,
when it's discovered that Scarpetta has been exposed to this often fatal virus.
Along the way, she's forced to deal with the unscrupulous ambitions of a slick
FBI agent, Lucy's problems, and her own turbulent feelings for Agent Wesley
Benton.
Taut with unrelieved tension and continual surprises, Unnatural Exposure is the
case of Kay Scarpetta's life--and a triumph for Patricia Cornwell.
