Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell | Full Audiobook #1 | Kay Scarpetta Series #1 | Crime Thriller
Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell is the groundbreaking first novel in the legendary Kay Scarpetta Series, a forensic crime thriller that redefined modern detective fiction.
In Richmond, Virginia, a series of brutal murders terrorizes the city.
Each victim is found strangled in her own home — with no signs of forced entry and no obvious suspect.
Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the city’s Chief Medical Examiner, uses cutting-edge forensic science to uncover clues hidden in autopsy reports, crime scenes, and microscopic evidence others overlook.
As the killer grows bolder and the investigation turns increasingly personal, Scarpetta must face political pressure, professional sabotage, and the danger of becoming a target herself.
Dark, methodical, and relentlessly suspenseful, Postmortem introduces an iconic heroine and sets the foundation for one of the most influential crime series of all time.
