Books like Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell


Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist, has just returned from Dublin after examining the severed remains of a murder victim, a pattern known to belong to a serial killer who disappeared for eight years. When the killer reappears, this time closer to home, Scarpetta discovers that the killer has reached out to her online, offering photos of the murder victim and signing off under the ominous screen name “deadoc.” The investigation reveals that the victim had been exposed to a rare smallpox‑like virus and that Scarpetta herself may now be infected. Facing a killer equipped with sophisticated lethal technology and a personal vendetta, Scarpetta must use her forensic expertise to stay one step ahead.
