The twenty-first book in the Kay Scarpetta series, from No. 1
bestselling author Patricia Cornwell. 'America's most chilling
writer of crime fiction' The Times After working on one of the
worst mass killings in US history, Chief Medical Examiner Kay
Scarpetta returns home to recover, but an unsettling call drives
her straight back to work. The body of a young woman has been
discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT, draped in an unusual
cloth and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's
first strike. A preliminary examination reveals that the body is
covered in a fine dust that under ultra-violet light fluoresces
blood-red, emerald-green and sapphire-blue, and physical evidence
links this to another series of disturbing homicides in Washington,
DC. As she pieces together the fragments of evidence, Scarpetta
discovers that the cases connect, yet also seem to conflict,
drawing herself and her team deeper into the dark world of designer
drugs, drone technology, organised crime, and shocking corruption
at the highest level. Dust is a thrilling, addictive novel
featuring one of the most iconic, original and compelling
characters in crime fiction today. Praise for the groundbreaking

Based on historical fact, it tells the poignant story of a little girl and her Ouma who experience removal from their suburb when it is proclaimed 'white' under apartheid's Group Areas Act.
Although narrated with the voice of innocence, this novella is hugely perceptive of injustice.
The excitement and vibrancy of big-city thrills take a deadly turn
when they hit Staten Island. Edward Reinhardt murdered his wife and
rolled her body in a barrel down a busy thoroughfare. A known
bootlegger--and suspected police informant--was found shot three
times in a Packard on South Beach, sparking one of the island's
greatest mysteries. In 1843, the bodies of a mother and daughter
were discovered in a Christmas Day fire; a family member would
stand trial three times for their deaths. During the Jazz Age, a
kiss would cost a popular Port Richmond teenager her life. Local
historian Patricia M. Salmon has meticulously researched Staten
Island's most horrific murders, some well known and others long
forgotten.

mature and get ready to run away to New York. Will Grace discover
her daughter's plans and intervene before she loses her for good?
