Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

One of the most interesting and singular bodies of work in popular fiction. (SUNDAY TIMES)

Imitators now abound, but - pathologically speaking - nobody does it like Cornwell (LITERARY REVIEW)

Cornwell's vision is a bleak one and Scarpetta is a lone crusader against not simply evil but also chauvanism, prejudice and loneliness, mediocrity and compromise. This is perhaps the bleakest- and the best- of Cornwell's novels; its denouncement is painful and shocking, but it has the unmistakable taste of reality. (GUARDIAN)

One of Cornwell's very best... Brilliant readership manipulation, with unease cultivated as prolifically as cress and a militantly hard line taken on law 'n (order. Unmissable.')

Reseña del editor:

A farmhouse destroyed by fire. A body amongst the ruins.
Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner and consulting pathologist for the federal law enforcement agency ATF, is called out to a farmhouse in Virginia which has been destroyed by fire. In the ruins of the house she finds a body which tells a story of a violent and grisly murder. The fire has come at the same time as another, even more incendiary horror: Carrie Grethen, a killer who nearly destroyed the lives of Scarpetta and those closest to her, has escaped from a forensic psychiatric hospital. Her whereabouts is unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, for Carrie has begun to communicate with Scarpetta, conveying her deadly - if cryptic - plans for revenge. Chillingly mesmeric in tone, labyrinthine in structure, POINT OF ORIGIN is Patricia Cornwell at her most dazzling.
