It appears she’s been murdered, mere weeks before the trial in her $100 million lawsuit against her former financial manager, and Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta doubts it’s a coincidence. She also fears the case may have a connection with her computer genius niece, Lucy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt a glance there is no sign of what killed Gail Shipton, but she’s covered with a fine dust that under ultraviolet light fluoresces brilliantly in three vivid colors, what Scarpetta calls a mineral fingerprint. Clearly the body has been posed with chilling premeditation that is symbolic and meant to shock, and Scarpetta worries that the person responsible is the Capital Murderer, whose most recent sexual homicides have terrorized Washington, D.C.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDust\u003c\/i\u003e, Scarpetta and her colleagues are up against a force far more sinister than a sexual predator who fits the criminal classification of a “spectacle killer.” With unparalleled high-tension suspense and the latest in forensic technology, Patricia Cornwell once again proves her exceptional ability to surprise—and to thrill.","brand":"Patricia Cornwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Tall rack paperback (US)","offer_id":44683453595808,"sku":"9780425270042","price":6.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Trade size Paperback*","offer_id":57799288717472,"sku":"9780425270042","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d2e3acce-a550-47e8-9395-23f3196080b8.jpg?v=1685055274","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780425270042","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
