Pioneering an era where corpses can "speak": the chief female forensic pathologist

Virginia, Richmond. Four women were strangled in succession, and the murderer left no fingerprints. However, there was a faint smell at the scene. The police were at a loss and had no choice but to seek help from Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta. After relentless efforts, the chief medical examiner discovered that the victims' bodies emitted a strange glow under laser light. Where did the smell come from? What was glowing? As the medical examiner gradually uncovered the truth, the cold blade of danger was already approaching her throat...

"Chief Medical Examiner" (Postmortem) is Patricia Cornwell's debut and breakout work, as well as the first book in the series of novels featuring State Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta.

"Chief Medical Examiner" Part One

I saw a white face outside the glass window, split by raindrops - a shapeless, non-human face, like a poorly made doll fashioned from nylon stockings.

"Chief Medical Examiner" Part Two

The kitchen is my favorite room. It has high ceilings, not many utensils, but they are stylish. I like to cook myself, such as making and rolling dough, so there is a piece of pine wood in the center of the kitchen, perfectly suited for someone who is five feet three inches tall like me. The breakfast table faces a large window, offering a view of the trees in the backyard and the bird feeder.
