This essay will study the similarities and differences between two female fictional characters created by American author Patricia Cornwell and Swedish author Liza Marklund. In order to fulfil the purpose with this essay, to study two female fictional characters, I will use three texts from each author as primary sources. The texts are part of a series and are chosen to fit the purpose of this essay, however the other books in the series are suitable for comparison as well, but the primary sources had to be limited into a manageable amount. Furthermore, the purpose is to provide a reasonable analysis on the findings in the texts and suitable literature and internet sources will be used as secondary sources. The choice to analyse the fictional characters, Kay Scarpetta created by Patricia Cornwell, and Annika Bengtzon created by Liza Marklund is due to the fact that the authors share lots of components in their works and are celebrated for their authorship, their books have been translated into several languages, and are sold in millions of copies. The books are easy to get hold of: you can buy them in the supermarket, borrow them at your local library and if you go to London, borrow the books at a library there. 1 An autobiographical note provides adequate information and background on the authors and their work. Chapter 1 will give a definition on the genre crime fiction and sub genres as well as give a historical perspective and background to the rising of crime literature through time. Chapter 2 examine the fictional characters, Kay Scarpetta and Annika Bengtzon in areas of work and relationships and will be compared and analysed in Chapter 3. The focus in the discussion is on differences and similarities in the characters in terms of work, relationships, family, personalities and events happening in their lives. 1 www.londonlibraries.org 3 Autobiographical note on the authors ­ Patricia Cornwell and Liza Marklund Patricia Cornwell Patricia Cornwell was born on June 9, 1956, in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Montreat, North Carolina. In 1979 she graduated from Davidson College and began to work at the Charlotte Observer. She started out by listing television programmes and advanced to writing feature articles covering the police beat. She won an investigative reporting award from the North Carolina Press Association, and gained the award for writing a series of articles on prostitution and crime. From 1984 to 1990 Cornwell worked as a technical writer and a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. Cornwell has written sixteen forensic science novels with Kay Scarpetta as the main character, and this essay will look into three of those texts; Black Notice (1999), The Last Precinct (2000) and Blow Fly (2003). She has also written another series of books starring the main character Andy Brazil, and some non-fictional books, one about the serial killer Jack The Ripper, and two cookbooks in the name of Kay Scarpetta. Patricia Cornwell co-wrote and co-produced the movie ATF for ABC, and she is often interviewed on national television as a forensic consultant. She helped found the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine and is the former Director of Applied Forensic Science at the National Forensic Academy. In May 2007 she was awarded an honorary doctorate of letters by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, where she is a Senior Fellow at its International Crime Scene Academy. In the citation for her honorary degree, she was praised for “enlightening society through commitment to the principles of academic excellence and understanding for all.” She is also a member of the Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital’s National Council, where she is an advocate for psychiatric research. Her work is translated into thirty-two languages across more than thirty-five countries, and she is regarded as one of the major international best- selling authors. Cornwell is also well known for her philanthropic efforts in animal rescue, college scholarships, literacy, and criminal justice.2 2 www.patriciacornwell.com 4 Although Cornwell is not Scarpetta, the similarities are striking. Cornwell like her character, Scarpetta has attended thousands of autopsies, learned to scuba dive and kept up with trends and advancements in forensic science as well as law enforcement. Scarpetta´s niece, Lucy Farinelli rides motorcycles, flies helicopters and shoot guns and Cornwell learned to do all these things too. There is a lot of Cornwell in Scarpetta and a lot of Scarpetta in Cornwell.3 Apart from the tree novels under discussion in this essay she has also published texts such as All That Remains (1992), Cause of Death (1996) and Trace (2004). Liza Marklund Liza Marklund was born in 1962 in a small town in the north of Sweden. She is a writer, journalist and an ambassador for UNICEF. Her authorship consists of nine novels and one factual study book. Her books have sold 7.5 million copies and are published in thirty languages. Marklund is currently writing a series of books with the character, Annika Bengtzon an investigative reporter, playing a central role. There have been eight novels published and many have achieved international success. This essay will examine the following texts: The Bomber (1998), Studio 69 (1999) and Prime Time (2002). Marklund took her first born daughter’s name, the last name of a former boss, some of her own characteristics and

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 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.
