Lorelei King deftly navigates the serpentine plotting in Cornwell's 22nd Scarpetta novel. First, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner for Massachusetts, receives an unsettling email. Then, carefully arranged on her garden wall, she finds seven shiny copper pennies, all dated 1981. Minutes later, she's called to a murder scene. Scarpetta and longtime colleague Detective Pete Marino are on the trail of "Copperhead," a serial sniper. King keeps the action humming. She carefully develops character and atmosphere while dealing with political unrest, extremists, terrorism, and murders--old and new. She brings warmth to the usually cool Scarpetta, especially those moments with her husband, F.B.I. profiler Benton Wesley, and during her childhood reminiscences.

Bestseller Cornwell’s thrilling 22nd novel featuring Dr. Kay Scarpetta (after 2013’s Dust) pits the chief medical examiner against a threat uncomfortably close to home. On the eve of a Florida birthday trip with her FBI agent husband, Benton Wesley, Det. Pete Marino calls Scarpetta to the scene of a fatal shooting in Cambridge, Mass., with all the hallmarks of a sniper attack. Even worse are the alarming similarities between the victim, music teacher Jamal Nari—recently erroneously classified as a terrorist—and two shooting deaths in New Jersey. Not only is the killer an ace shot, but even handcrafts the bullets. Scarpetta knows the signature copper bullets are somehow connected to an odd discovery outside her and Wesley’s home: seven shiny pennies, all from 1981. Soon the hunt is on, stretching from the tonier streets of Cambridge to the murky waters off the coast of Florida. Series fans may be pleasantly shocked by the return of a once-vanquished nemesis. Agent: Esther Newberg, ICM.
