ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Trace by Patricia Cornwell follows Kay Scarpetta as she becomes involved in a perplexing case, set against a backdrop of personal and professional upheaval. Scarpetta returns to Richmond, a place she had left with no intention of revisiting, only to find herself embroiled in a complex investigation. The story explores themes of crime, forensic science, and the impact of the past on the present, and Scarpetta is asked to offer her opinion in the Gilly Paulsson case.

As the narrative unfolds, a potential suspect emerges: Edgar Allan Pogue. The investigation reveals Pogue's connections to both Gilly Paulsson's murder and to Lucy Farinelli’s past. Pogue's actions are portrayed as driven by deep-seated motivations and a distorted sense of justice or revenge, and his history provides him with access to materials that enable his crimes.
