Book of the Dead by Patricia Cornwell (2007, Hardcover)

Kay Scarpetta's back in a new city with a new job and a new nemesis! After her Florida battle with a psychopath, Kay moves to Charleston, South Carolina and opens a private forensic pathology practice where she offers expert crime scene investigations. It isn't long before she is jetting to Rome to investigate the horrible murder of a young tennis star. It seems trouble always follows her and so when she returns to Charleston she realizes that a rash of covert acts of sabotage are clearly meant to scare her out of town. There is also a string of baffling and gruesome murders that is sweeping Charleston and Kay has to figure out why so many names have been written in the "book of the dead,".... the morgue log. She has to find the answer soon or her own name may join the list.
Another great book from Ms. Cornwell. I like the Kay Scarpetta mysteries,they grab and hold you until the last page. This book will have you squirmming in your seat with fear since the killer is methodical and diabolical on what he is doing. Ms. Cornwell 's novel is well written with plenty of nail biting scenes. Scarpetta is back in true form.
