Unnatural exposure / Patricia Cornwell.
Scarpetta, Virginia's chief medical examiner, has been called to Ireland to help investigate a series of grisly murders in which the killer dismembers his victims. Imagine her horror when Scarpetta returns to the U.S. and finds the killer--or a terrifying copycat--has struck at home. Worse, the victims appear to have been exposed to a deadly, highly contagious smallpox-like virus. To complete her personal nightmare, Scarpetta may have been exposed to the virus, and the killer has started sending her gruesome e-mail messages. With the help of her savvy FBI agent niece Lucy, Scarpetta tracks the elusive killer as her own life hangs in the balance. The suspense builds to an unbearable pitch, but when the murderer's identity and motive are revealed, it's more puzzling than satisfying. No matter. A misstep at the end of an otherwise gripping thriller will do nothing to derail Cornwell's remarkable run of commercial success.
