    For Immediate Release Date: Oct. 16, 2012 Contact: Tony Clark, 404-865-7109 [email protected] NEWS12-30 Meet Best Selling Author Patricia Cornwell This Friday at 7pm Atlanta, GA. – Meet New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell this Friday, October 19th in the Carter Center’s Day Chapel. Ms. Cornwell will discuss and sign her just released novel The Bone Bed. This special book signing event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00pm and the program begins at 7:00pm. Copies of The Bone Bed will be available for purchase and signing at the event. The Bone Bag is Cornwell’s latest crime fiction featuring Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has made its way to the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. She has no idea why. But as events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist’s disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the dinosaur age. Barnes and Nobel calls The Bone Bed “a suave mix of thriller, whodunit, and forensics primer.” Following her talk and questions from the audience, Ms. Cornwell will sign copies of The Bone Bed. (In order to get to everyone, she will not be able to personalize books. Only those with a copy of The Bone Bed will be allowed in the signing line, though Ms.

  • 51 Dissection of Patricia Cornwell's Feminist Woman
    JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES - VOLUME 10 (2012), 51-64 DISSECTION OF PATRICIA CORNWELL’S FEMINIST WOMAN DETECTIVE KAY SCARPETTA CARME FARRÉ-VIDAL University of Lleida ABSTRACT. This analysis of Kay Scarpetta acknowledges the importance of feminism in the identity of this woman detective. Kay Scarpetta contests patriarchy from the root: she is a forensic anthropologist with the necessary intellectual abilities and expertise for the pursuit of criminals. She has the power to solve the murder, the patriarchal privilege enjoyed by the traditional male detective, but her characterisation retains feminine characteristics, too: she can admit to be afraid in the face of danger and she cares for victims, those lying on her autopsy table – many of whom are women – but also the ones left behind. Kay Scarpetta’s identity leads her to expose the forms that women’s victimisation can take in a society based on prioritising men’s privileges. The obstacles that Kay Scarpetta has to overcome in order to expose patriarchy will not discourage her, though, since her ultimate goal is to help dignity and equality prevail. Keywords: Feminist detective fiction, Kay Scarpetta, equality, patriarchy, abuse of power, women’s victimisation. 51 Journal of English Studies, vol. 10 (2012) 51-64 CARME FARRÉ-VIDAL DISECCIÓN DEL FEMINISMO DE KAY SCARPETTA, LA MUJER DETECTIVE DE PATRICIA CORNWELL RESUMEN. Este análisis de Kay Scarpetta reconoce la importancia del feminismo en la identidad de esta mujer detective. Kay Scarpetta se opone al patriarcado desde la raíz: es una antropóloga forense con la habilidad intelectual y conocimientos necesarios para la persecución de los criminales.

    Kay Scarpetta Series Volume 6 FROM POTTER’S FIELD Patricia Cornwell And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. -Genesis 4:10 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS He walked with sure steps through snow, which was deep in Central Park, and it was late now, but he was not certain how late. Toward the Ramble rocks were black beneath stars, and he could hear and see his breathing because he was not like anybody else. Temple Gault had always been magical, a god who wore a human body. He did not slip as he walked, for example, when he was quite certain others would, and he did not know fear. Beneath the bill of a baseball cap, his eyes scanned. In the spot - and he knew precisely where it was - he squatted, moving the skirt of a long black coat out of the way. He set an old army knapsack in the snow and held his bare bloody hands in front of him, and though they were cold, they weren't impossibly cold. Gault did not like gloves unless they were made of latex, which was not warm, either. He washed his hands and face in soft new snow, then patted the used snow into a bloody snowball. This he placed next to the knapsack because he could not leave them. He smiled his thin smile. He was a happy dog digging on the beach as he disrupted snow in the park, eradicating footprints, looking for the emergency door.

  • Postmortem Discussion Questions by Patricia Cornwell
    Postmortem Discussion Questions by Patricia Cornwell Author Bio: (http://www.litlovers.com/reading-guides/13-fiction/826-postmortem-cornwell?start=1) Before becoming one of the most widely recognized, respected, and read writers in contemporary crime fiction, Patricia Cornwell worked as a police reporter for the Charlotte Observer and as a computer analyst in the chief medical examiner's office in Virginia. During this period of her life, Cornwell observed literally hundreds of autopsies. "Most of these crime scene shows...are what I call ‘Harry Potter' policing," she said in a candid, heated interview. "They're absolutely fantasy. And the problem is the general public watches these, 60 million people a week or whatever, and they think what they're seeing is true." Cornwell introduced medical examiner Kay Scarpetta in her first novel, Postmortem in 1990. Postmortem, Cornwell’s debut book, is the only novel by a first-time author to ever win five major mystery awards in a single year. There are currently 22 books in the Kay Scarpetta series. In addition, Cornwell writes more lighthearted cop capers in her "Andy Brazil & Judy Hammer" series. She also has written a number of nonfiction books, including a Scarpetta cookbook. Characters: Kay Scarpetta - Chief Medical Examiner - Richmond, VA. Pete Marino - Detective Sergeant in the Richmond Police Department. In charge of investigating the murders in Postmortem. Alvin Amburgey - The County Commissioner and Kay’s boss. Bill Boltz - The Commonwealth Attorney and Kay’s semi-secret boyfriend. Dorothy Farinelli - Kay's sister and mother of Lucy. Writes children’s books, but doesn’t have much time for her daughter.

ANOTHER KAY SCARPETTA MYSTERY...Von lawyeraauThis is a somewhat interesting, Dr. Kay Scarpetta mystery, replete with its usual attention to forensic detail, as well as a myriad of subplots, contributing to the tension that is tautly maintained throughout the book. Though not her best novel, this one still manages to entertain the reader.Once again, Dr. Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner, finds herself on the hunt for a serial killer, when the body of an elderly, dismembered woman is discovered in a Virginia landfill. Moreover, a mutated, high tech, small pox variant virus appears to be on the loose, and Dr. Scarpetta finds herself receiving taunting emails from the alleged killer, signing as "deadoc". Couple all this with an overly ambitious and unscrupulous law enforcement agent named Percy Ring who arrests an obviously innocent man for the elderly woman's death, and the reader has an intriguing mystery to unravel.Homicide Detective Pete Marino is pivotal to the success of this book. His relationship and repartee with Dr. Scarpetta contribute to many of the book's highlights, and it is he who gives dimension to the book, as he is simply a wonderful, down to earth character.
