Determined to find out what happened to her former deputy chief, Jack Fielding, murdered six months earlier, Kay Scarpetta travels to the Georgia Prison for Women, where an inmate has information not only on Fielding, but also on a string of grisly killings. The murder of an Atlanta family years ago, a young woman on death row, and the inexplicable deaths of homeless people as far away as California seem unrelated. But Scarpetta discovers connections that compel her to conclude that what she thought ended with Fielding's death and an attempt on her own life is only the beginning of something far more destructive: a terrifying terrain of conspiracy and potential terrorism on an international scale. And she is the only one who can stop it.… (altro)
Kay Scarpetta, medical examiner, is one of my favorite crime thriller characters. While there's less action than in Patricia Cornwall's earlier novels, in reading Red Mist, I was happy to be back in the company of Kay, her husband, forensic psychiatrist Benton Wesley, her brilliant niece, Lucy Farinelli; and investigator Pete Marino. Red Mist opens with Kay arriving in Savannah for the purpose of talking with an inmate at the Georgia Prison for Women, to learn more about the circumstances that resulted in the murder of her former assistant, Jack Fielding(in Cornwall's earlier book, Port Mortuary). If you choose to listen to the book, you'll enjoy Kate Reading's performance. ( )
A lot better and more lucid than her last few works, but I found the all engrossing plot of Jaime Berger annoying, especially towards the end, because of plot twists that I shall not mention here. There is also a lot less drama between Marino, Lucy and Benton. The beginning is sort of murky, but it gets better as you read along. ( )
just like the last one....Cornwell has finally gotten back to what the series started with. Good old crime mystery and not the way out there stuff! liked it, but a little long :) ( )
La doctora Kay Scarpetta, reputada patóloga forense, directora del Centro Forense de Cambridge y colaboradora del Departamento de Defensa, se encuentra ante una difícil encrucijada: la resolución lógica de una serie de brutales asesinatos que está cometiendo una retorcida mente criminal en Savannah y su instinto de mujer, que le dicta normas que van más allá de las pruebas imputables y de la ciencia forense.

We level off and nose around toward the buildings and rooftops of the old city, and beyond is the river, and we follow it to the sea, heading northeast to Charleston and then home.
