This collection brings together Patricia Cornwell's first three thrillers. In "Fatal Weekend," a serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Kay Scarpetta, along with her niece Lucy, attempts to track down the murderer, but someone is sabotaging the investigation to ruin Scarpetta's reputation. In "Corpus Delicti," Beryl Madison is being stalked, receiving threatening phone calls. Yet, for inexplicable reasons, she lets her killer into her home one night. In "All That Remains," the car of a young couple is found abandoned in a remote location, and months later, their bodies are discovered. The mystery deepens with the appearance of a strange playing card found with each corpse. This omnibus showcases Cornwell's signature blend of suspense and forensic detail, as Scarpetta navigates complex cases while confronting personal and professional challenges.

CAUSE OF DEATH - New year's Eve & the final murder scene of Virginia's bloodiest year takes Scarpetta 30 feet below the icy surface of the Elizabeth River. A diver is dead, an investigative reporter, a favourite at the Medical Examiner's office, but was he on the scent of a story or merely diving for sunken trinkets? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified? UNNATURAL EXPOSURE - Scarpetta is on the trail of a serial killer, but the discovery of a 10th corpse shows vital discrepancies & make her wonder if this is a copycat killing. Ghoulish, but not unusual. Then the eleventh body broadcasts a clear and horrifying message: the killer is armed with the most lethal weapon on Earth - smallpox. POINT OF ORIGIN - Scarpetta is called to a burned-out farmhouse where someone has been viciously murdered, but she has another more incendiary horror to face - Carrie Grethen, the killer who nearly destroyed her, has escaped from a secure hospital. Her whereabouts are unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, because she has already told Scarpetta of her deadly plans for revenge.

Jaia Sun-Childers wordt geboren in 1964 - het jaar van de draak - aan de vooravond van de Culturele Revolutie. Haar vroegste herinneringen zijn gelukkig: witte duiven op de gouden daken van de Verboden Stad, gesuikerde pruimen op de Da Shi La-markt. Maar dan worden haar ouders bestempeld als "stinkende intellectuelen" Jaia is nog maar een kleuter als ze met haar moeder wordt verbannen naar een werkkamp in de desolate provincie Hubei. In 1971 keert Jaia terug naar Bejing, waar ze probeert een goede dochter van Mao te zijn en een Kleine Rode Soldaat te worden. Als ze haar boezemvriendinnetje van school wordt opgepakt en afgevoerd, wordt Jaia zich echter steeds meer bewust van de tekortkomingen van het systeem. Ze maakt het allemaal mee: nachtelijk invallen door de geheime politie, paranoia, intimidatie en indoctrinatie, het bloedbad op het Tiananmenplein en de begrafnis van Mao Zedong. De dochter van de Rode Zon, de autobiografie van een jong meisje dat tijdens de Culturele Revolutie opgroeit tot een volwassen vrouw, is een absolute "must" voor iedereen die meer wil begrijpen van het huidige China.

Black Mountain, North Carolina: a sleepy little town where the local police deal with one homicide a year, if they're unlucky, and where people are still getting used to the idea of locking their doors at night.
