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. <\/p>\n

But violent death is no respecter of venue, and the discovery of the corpse of a 11-yearold girl sends shock waves through the community. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Chief, Medical Examiner on a similar case in Virginia, is called in to apply her forensic skills to this latest atrocity, but the apparent simplicity of the case proves something of a poisoned chalice until Scarpetta finds enlightenment through the curious pathologists’ playground known as the Body Farm. A former crime reporter for the Charlotte Observer, Patricia Cornwell worked for over six years as a computer analyst in the Chief Medical Examiner’s office in Virginia. She is also the author of A Time for Remembering, a biography of Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of the evangelist. She lives in Richmond, Virginia. <\/p>\n
