From Potter's Field

A woman's naked body is found propped against a Central Park fountain in winter, and the marks on her body tell Kay Scarpetta something she hoped never to see again: Temple Brooks Gault, the most dangerous killer she has ever pursued, is active in New York. Working with Marino and Wesley in a city where the evidence keeps pointing toward the subway's dark network of tunnels, Scarpetta finds herself pursuing a confrontation that cannot be avoided. Patricia Cornwell's sixth Scarpetta novel builds to one of the series' most kinetic finales.

C.J. Critt narrates with a taut efficiency that matches Cornwell's compressed, procedural prose style, her voice carrying the forensic precision that makes Scarpetta compelling as a protagonist. At just over twelve hours, the production uses New York's geography effectively, making the city feel genuinely threatening rather than merely spectacular. A gripping listen for readers who have followed the Scarpetta series from its beginning.
