Identity Unknown
“Identity Unknown is hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring.” – Chris Whitaker
Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead.
And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message...
Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with.
The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead’s secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.
As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil...

I have read every book in the Scarpetta series and this one is the best yet!

I have been re reading the earlier books and they were maybe the same length, but spanned over weeks not a day or two. There were layers and layers to the stories. Not this one. It was very predictable.

This is the very last time I buy a Cornwell book. I have never been so disgusted in a book. I don’t even care about the outer space junk. Her writing has turned into the “just get something on the page” variety, and this is coming from a long time fan. The fact that the evil doer(trying not to spoil the plot for everyone) cannot be caught just underlines the ineptitude of the entire government. Sorry I wasted my money and my time.

Maybe an AI inspired ending, next time ?

This book was better than the last several books. I think it’s time to let Carrie Grethen go though.
