ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Postmortem" by Patricia Cornwell is a crime novel that follows Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a medical examiner, as she investigates a series of brutal murders in Richmond, Virginia. The plot centers on the challenges of using forensic science to solve the crimes, while also dealing with media interference and corruption within the police and legal systems. The narrative explores how public and media pressure can hinder investigations, and it shows the ethical dilemmas faced by investigators as they struggle to maintain transparency while protecting the integrity of their work. The story delves into the psychological profiles of both the victims and the perpetrator, and introduces concepts such as D.N.A. analysis and a metabolic disorder as tools to help solve the crimes. The investigation is complicated by the fact that the killer is a non-secretor, which makes it difficult to use traditional forensic methods to identify him.
