Book Review: The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell (Kay Scarpetta 11)

Dr Kay Scarpetta has to leave her home after she is attacked there by the killer Chandonne and the police are continuing to investigate the attack. She goes to stay with an old friend who it is discovered has been subpoenaed to appear before a court that is investigating Scarpetta for murder.

Scarpetta knows that she is being set up and finds it difficult to trust anyone. One of Chardonne's alleged victims, a woman in New York, is looked at more closely by Scarpetta and Jaime Berger the New York prosecutor and it comes to light that maybe Chardonne is not the killer at all. Then it is called into question whether Chardonne killed any of his alleged victims at all?

As the fog clears it becomes clear that the real killer has been setting Scarpetta up for years and she is in real danger. How does she escape?

A better novel for me and 8/10.
