14. Identity Unknown by Patricia Cornwell.

Sun Dec 14, 2025, 05:33 PM

Sunday

Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with.

I’m about 1/4 of the way into it, and so far it’s been mostly exposition. I read two or three of the other Kay Scarpetta novels years ago, and a lot has apparently changed for this character since then.
