Patricia Cornwell writes about the character Kay Scarpetta who is a Medical Examiner, and PC's books are mainly about her although she has written some other novels as well. The Scarpetta novels really need to be read in order so that you get to know the other characters as well (Marino, Lucy etc). I felt that the books lost their way a little after the intiail surge of the first ten or so but PC seems to be back on form for the last couple that I have read.
Not sure if there are any more in the pipeline, I checked Fantastic Fiction and her website but no news.
The books are usually very descriptive about medical procedures but also have some terrifying incidents of things that happen to Kay Scarpetta. You also get to really like Kay Scarpetta's lifestyle too. Worth getting to grips with the Kay Scarpetta novels but you really need to start from the beginning.
Patricia Cornwell website and she is on Fantastic Fiction too.
