From back cover:
"Dr Kay Scarpetta. Chief Medical Examiner and consulting forensic pathologist for the federal law enforcement agency ATF, is called out to an isolated farmhouse in Virginia which has been destroyed by fire. In the ruins of the house she finds a body which tells a story of violent and grisly murder.
The fire has come at the same time as another, even more incendiary horror. Carrie Grethan, a killer who nearly destroyed the lives of Scarpetta and those closest to her, has escaped from a forensic psychiatric hospital. Her whereabouts are unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, for Carrie has begun to communicate with Scarpetta, conveying her deadly - if cryptic - plans for revenge.
The fire and Carrie's escape combine to enmesh Scarpetta, her lover Benton Wesley, investigator Pete Marino and her niece Lucy onto a web of chilling intrigue and naked fear. It appears the fire was the work of a serial killer who has struck before - at a time when Carrie was safely incarcerated in prison, and Carrie, with her own murderous agenda, is coming closer . . ."

I have just found this book in the Gardens of Wyreena Community Arts Centre. Before today, I didn't know anything about Book Crossing and have never read Patricia Cornwell before. I feel excited by the fact that I am now part of this world wide exchange of literature. I am about to open it up and loose myself in it.
