书籍简介

《身份未知》具有令人难以忘怀的独特性、不可思议的聪明和极度的大胆。——克里斯·惠特克

尸体解剖可以揭示死者的秘密。

这个受害者在给斯卡皮塔传递一个信息…

凯·斯卡皮塔博士被叫到一个废弃的主题公园去取回一具尸体，当她得知受害者是一个她曾经深爱过的男人时，她伤心欲绝。

谋杀现场很奇怪，尸体周围有一圈花瓣，佐丹奴的皮肤是奇怪的红色。斯卡皮塔的侄女露西认为他是从一架不明飞行器上扔下来的。斯卡皮塔知道尸检可以揭示死者的秘密，但她震惊地发现她的朋友似乎故意给她留下了线索。

当调查人员在对超自然力量的怀疑和对佐丹奴本人的怀疑之间挣扎时，斯卡佩塔发现了一个更接近家乡的解释，在她看来，这个解释要邪恶得多……

“Identity Unknown is hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring. ” – Chris Whitaker

Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead.

And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message...

Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intensewith.

The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead’s secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.

As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil...

作者简介

1990年，帕特里夏·康威尔（Patricia Cornwell）在弗吉尼亚州里士满首席法医办公室工作时，卖出了她的小说《验尸》（Postmortem）。处女作很顺利，它赢得了埃德加奖、克雷西奖、安东尼奖和马卡维提奖，以及法国罗曼冒险奖——这是有史以来一本在一年内获得所有这些殊荣的书。康威尔的《斯卡佩塔》系列小说风靡全球，获得了美国作家侦探夏洛克奖、金匕首奖、RBA惊悚奖、艺术与文学骑士勋章，以表彰她对文学和艺术发展的贡献。

今天，康威尔的小说和标志性人物闻名世界。除了《斯卡皮塔》系列，康威尔还撰写了关于开膛手杰克身份的非虚构作品、烹饪书、一本儿童书籍、露丝·格雷厄姆传记，以及其他三个以温·加拉诺、安迪·巴西和卡利·蔡斯船长为原型的虚构系列。康威尔继续探索与当代生活相关的新太空时代技术和威胁。她的兴趣范围从停尸房到人工智能，包括访问国际刑警组织、五角大楼、美国特勤局和美国宇航局。

康威尔出生在迈阿密。她在北卡罗来纳州的蒙特雷特长大，现在生活和工作在波士顿。

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.
