Title: The Sequence of Bodies - Patricia Cornwell - book
Summary :
Black Mountain, a sleepy little town in the depths of North Carolina. A small town where the local police rarely deal with more than one homicide a year, if that, and where people have a hard time getting used to locking their doors at night, even these days. It's hardly the kind of place where serial killers prowl, and yet... What other explanation could there be for the murder of eleven-year-old Emily, abducted from her home after attending a church meeting and found a few days later? Especially since the murderer's modus operandi is strangely reminiscent of that of Temple Gault, the killer who managed to elude the FBI and Kay Scarpetta at the end of The Sentence of Exception. Called to the scene, Scarpetta and his usual acolytes, Marino and Wesley, are going to have a tough fight... Once again, Patricia Cornwell demonstrates her extraordinary talent, which propelled The Body Sequence to number one on the American bestseller list.
