description: From the best-selling author of The Body Farm, Body of Evidence, and All That Remains comes another work of detective fiction set in the grisly milieu of forensic pathology. It's a case Dr. Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of Virginia and consultant for the FBI, has dreaded--her worst nightmare returns when she finds out that Gault, the sadistic psychopath who has eluded capture for years, has struck again. Scarpetta and her longtime FBI and police colleagues fly to the eerie early-morning scene, where they immediately recognize Gault's grizzly handiwork. While they sort through some strange forensic evidence, Gault kills again. But the prey he ultimately seeks is Scarpetta, for it becomes increasingly apparent that he is as focused on her as she is on him. From Potter's Field finds Scarpetta in true form--tenacious and vulnerable, brilliant and consumed. This is the best story yet from the hugely gifted best-selling author.
