Book Description: "From The New York Times #1 best-selling author of Unnatural Exposure and Cause of Death comes a white-hot new Kay Scarpetta novel that pits Virginia's chief medical examiner against an audacious and wily killer who uses fire to mask his crimes. Wehn Scarpetta learns that her old nemesis, Carrie Grethen, is somehow involved, the investigation gets personal and tragedy strikes closer to home. America's leading crime writer combines literary talent and style with that fierce commitment to justice in this thrilling and complex new Carpetta novel. Point of Origin will stand as one of Cornwell's best, a gripping story that transcends the genre to examine the dark side of the human soul. Patricia Cornwell is the Gold Dagger- and Edgar-winning author whose international best sellers include Unnatural Exposure, Cause of Death, From Potter's Field, The Body Farm, Crueal and Unusual, All That Remains, Body Of Evidence, Postemortem, and her first no-Scarpetta novel, Hornet's Nest."
