Synopsis
Picking up where BLACK NOTICE leaves off, THE LAST PRECINCT finds Virginia medical examiner Kay Scarpetta under investigation for the murder of Chief of Police Diane Bray. As Scarpetta struggles to clear her name, two mutilated corpses are discovered by police. The murders bear all the hallmarks of the work of serial killer Jean Baptiste Chandonne. There's just one problem: Chandonne is in prison. It looks like Scarpetta has a copycat killer on her hands.

the LAST PRECINCT ~ A KAY SCARPETTA MYSTERY SUSPENSE THRILLER NOVEL ~ the 2000 1st EDITION FIRST ED HARDCOVER COLLECTION ED EDITION with DUSTJACKET dust jacket ~ [hb hc hbdj hcdj dj] ~

The Last Precinct is a crime novel by American author Patricia Cornwell, the eleventh in her Dr. Kay Scarpetta series.

Plot summary

Following the death of Diane Bray in Black Notice, Kay finds herself the target of a corrupt police investigation that will dredge her darkest secrets from the deepest corners of her past. Torn between a desire to clear her name and the instinct of a wounded animal to turn against even its would-be rescuers, Kay sifts through the forensic evidence that seems to link Chandonne to other horrific events in her past, up to and including the murder of her lover, Benton Wesley. Physical analysis, however, will not be enough to right her up-ended world. Instead, Kay must rely on the strategic support of her niece, cofounder of the Last Precinct, and on her willingness to examine her own fears, misconceptions, and anything-but-altruistic motives.
