书籍简介

一位隐居作家惨遭杀害，而她的遗稿也神秘失踪……

有人在跟踪贝丽尔·麦迪逊，监视她，并给她打恐吓和下流的电话。贝丽尔惊恐万分，逃往基韦斯特，但不得不返回位于里士满的家中。就在她抵达的当晚，贝丽尔竟莫名其妙地邀请了凶手进门……

凯·斯卡佩塔博士由此展开了对这起离奇古怪案件的调查。贝丽尔为何会给一个残忍地砍伤她、几乎将她斩首的人开门？她认识凶手吗？更令人费解的是，贝丽尔与一位获奖作家之间有着一段扑朔迷离的关系，而她自己的遗稿也神秘失踪。斯卡佩塔博士循着贝丽尔的足迹，从实验室里借助显微镜和激光展开的调查，将她带入了一场噩梦，而这场噩梦很快也变成了她自己的噩梦。

A reclusive writer is dead. And her final manuscript has disappeared…

Someone is stalking Beryl Madison. Someone who spies on her and makes threatening, obscene phone-calls. Terrified, Beryl flees to Key West - but eventually she must return to her Richmond home. The very night she arrives, Beryl inexplicably invites her killer in…

Thus begins for Dr Kay Scarpetta the investigation of a crime that is as convoluted as it is bizarre. Why would Beryl open the door to someone who brutally slashed and then nearly decapitated her? Did she know her killer? Adding to the intrigue is Beryl’s enigmatic relationship with a prize-winning author and the disappearance of her own manuscript. As Scarpetta retraces Beryl’s footsteps, an investigation that begins in the laboratory with microscopes and lasers leads her deep into a nightmare that soon becomes her own.

帕特里夏·康薇尔

1990年，帕特里夏·康薇尔在弗吉尼亚州里士满首席法医办公室工作期间，售出了她的小说《验尸报告》（Postmortem）。这部处女作一鸣惊人，先后荣获埃德加奖、克里西奖、安东尼奖和麦卡维蒂奖，以及法国冒险小说奖——这是有史以来在同一年获得所有这些奖项的小说。随着斯卡佩塔系列小说风靡全球，康薇尔也因此荣获了美国作家创作的侦探小说奖（Sherlock Award）、金匕首奖（Gold Dagger Award）、RBA惊悚小说奖，以及因其对文学艺术发展的贡献而被授予的法国艺术与文学骑士勋章。

如今，康薇尔的小说和她笔下那些标志性人物已享誉全球。除了“斯卡佩塔”系列之外，康薇尔还撰写了关于开膛手杰克身份的权威非虚构作品、烹饪书、儿童读物、露丝·格雷厄姆的传记，以及以温·加拉诺、安迪·布拉泽尔和卡莉·蔡斯上尉为主角的三部小说系列。康薇尔持续探索与当代生活息息相关的新太空时代科技和威胁。她的兴趣广泛，从停尸房到人工智能，无所不包，并曾到访国际刑警组织、五角大楼、美国特勤局和美国国家航空航天局（NASA）。

康薇尔出生于迈阿密，在北卡罗来纳州蒙特里特长大，现在生活和工作在波士顿。

Patricia Cornwell

In 1990, Patricia Cornwell sold her first novel, Postmortem, while working at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. An auspicious debut, it went on to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity Awards, as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventures - the first book ever to claim all these distinctions in a single year. Growing into an international phenomenon, the Scarpetta series won Cornwell the Sherlock Award for best detective created by an American author, the Gold Dagger Award, the RBA Thriller Award, and the Medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contributions to literary and artistic development.

Today, Cornwell’s novels and iconic characters are known around the world. Beyond the Scarpetta series, Cornwell has written the definitive nonfiction account of Jack the Ripper’s identity, cookbooks, a children’s book, a biography of Ruth Graham, and three other fictional series based on the characters Win Garano, Andy Brazil, and Captain Calli Chase. Cornwell continues exploring the latest space-age technologies and threats relevant to contemporary life. Her interests range from the morgue to artificial intelligence and include visits to Interpol, the Pentagon, the U.S. Secret Service and NASA.

Cornwell was born in Miami. She grew up in Montreat, North Carolina, and now lives and works in Boston.
