Publisher Description
In this thrilling installment of the #1 bestselling series, chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds herself a reluctant star witness in a sensational televised murder trial causing chaos in Old Town Alexandria with the threat of violent protests, with SCARPETTA soon to be a streaming series starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta is the reluctant star witness in a sensational murder trial when she receives shocking news. The judge’s sister has been found dead. At first glance, it appears to be a home invasion, but then why was nothing stolen, and why is the garden strewn with dead plants and insects?
Although there is no apparent cause of death, Scarpetta recognizes telltale signs of the unthinkable, and she knows the worst is yet to come. The forensic pathologist finds herself pitted against a powerful force that returns her to the past, and her time to catch the killer is running out . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The race is on to hunt down a killer—and their bizarre, dangerous weapon—in this gory entry in the Kay Scarpetta series. Chief medical examiner Kay is a key witness in a beauty queen’s sensational murder trial, which gets disrupted when the judge’s sister is brutally murdered. This entry of Patricia Cornwell’s hit series is one hell of a ride. As always, Cornwell throws us headfirst into the action and all the power, corruption, and lies behind the killings. Even if you’re a newcomer to Kay Scarpetta’s wild world, Livid is a winner.

Interesting bits on emerging weaponry but itherwise not as deeply written as Ms Cornwell used to write. Done in a hurry?
