| book description |

SCARPETTA, A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, IS NOW ON PRIME VIDEO NO ONE IS SAFE FROM THE SERIAL KILLER. NOT EVEN SCARPETTA... In the early hours of the morning, chief medical examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta receives a chilling call. The Phantom Slasher has struck again. The serial killer has terrorized Northern Virginia for months. His pattern is to stalk with a sophisticated technology that enables him to invade his victims' homes and watch their every move. They wake up to a ghost-like hologram before being murdered in their beds. Scarpetta is summoned to Mercy Island, the site of a notorious psychiatric hospital where two people have been brutalized, one of them from Scarpetta's past. It soon becomes apparent that she could be next . . . 'In Sharp Force Cornwell is at the very top of her game and Scarpetta is as finely wrought as ever. The research is impeccable as always . . . You are in the hands of a master storyteller. Sit back and prepare to be thrilled' DAVID BALDACCI 'Compelling, grisly and dark, another incredible thriller' THE SUN 'This is vintage Cornwell' THE FINANCIAL TIMES 'Masterfully plotted and utterly addictive' WOMAN'S OWN
