Book Summary:

Cause of Death by Patricia Cornwell is the seventh novel in the Kay Scarpetta series, featuring the brilliant and determined Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia. The story begins on New Year’s Eve when Scarpetta is called to examine the mysterious death of investigative reporter Ted Eddings, whose body is found in a naval shipyard under suspicious circumstances. Initially ruled as an accidental drowning, Scarpetta’s forensic investigation reveals signs of foul play. As she delves deeper, she uncovers a chilling plot involving a shadowy terrorist group, nuclear materials, and a potential threat to national security.

Blending science, suspense, and political intrigue, Cause of Death delivers a fast-paced and chilling narrative, showcasing Cornwell’s signature mix of forensic detail and psychological tension while highlighting the personal and professional pressures Scarpetta faces in the line of duty.
