Scarpetta , an all-new Original Series, is coming soon to Prime Video! Enter the chilling and captivating world of Dr. Kay Scarpetta before Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis bring the mystery to life onscreen. "The new audience will be compelled by the characters, crimes, and mysteries that are the trifecta of Patricia's masterful storytelling... and a warning......there WILL be BLOOD." - Jamie Lee Curtis #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * More than twenty years into her career, Kay Scarpetta is confronted with a case that could ruin her professionally-and personally . . . Kay Scarpetta's secret military ties have drawn her to Dover Air Force Base and Port Mortuary, where she's performing autopsies on fallen soldiers. But her new headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts-the Cambridge Forensic Center-is the first civilian facility in the U.S. to do virtual autopsies, and it is there that she encounters a devastating event. A young man has died, apparently from a cardiac arrhythmia, eerily close to Scarpetta's new Cambridge home. But when his body is examined the next morning, there are stunning indications that he may have been alive when he was zipped inside a pouch and locked inside the Center's cooler. Various 3-D radiology scans reveal more shocking details about internal injuries unlike any Scarpetta has ever seen-details that suggest the possibility of a conspiracy to cause mass casualties. With Benton, Marino, and Lucy at her side, Scarpetta must fight a cunning, cruel-and invisible-enemy in a race against time. . . .
