Cruel and Unusual by Patricia Cornwell
Over 4,900 5-Star Reviews!
The inspiration for the Prime Video series Scarpetta, starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis—a knockout thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.
“Killing me won’t kill the beast.” Those are the final words of rapist-murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell, written four days before his execution.
But when medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds Waddell’s fingerprints at a new crime scene—after she has already performed his autopsy—everything she knows about death, evidence, and truth is thrown into doubt.
If this is a game, Scarpetta is the target. And when the violence turns personal, the punishment promises to be as cruel as it is unusual.
