Un homme va mourir sur la chaise électrique. Le travail du docteur Scarpetta consiste à accompagner cette exécution. Pourtant, l'invraisemblable se produit plus tard : le corps martyrisé d'un garçon de treize ans est retrouvé abandonné dans une benne à ordures. Il a été assassiné alors qu'il se rendait à l'épicerie voisine. Parmi les indices retrouvés sur la scène du crime, des empreintes impossibles celles du condamné à mort !

In 1990, Patricia Cornwell sold her first novel, Postmortem, while working at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. An auspicious debut, it went on to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity Awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventure prize—the first book ever to claim all these distinctions in a single year. Growing into an international phenomenon, the Scarpetta series won Cornwell the Sherlock Award for best detective created by an American author, the Gold Dagger Award, the RBA Thriller Award, and the Medal of Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contributions to literary and artistic development.

Today, Cornwell’s novels and iconic characters are known around the world. Beyond the Scarpetta series, Cornwell has written the definitive nonfiction account of Jack the Ripper’s identity, cookbooks, a children’s book, a biography of Ruth Graham, and two other fictional series based on the characters Win Garano and Andy Brazil. While writing Quantum, Cornwell spent two years researching space, technology, and robotics at Captain Calli Chase’s home base, NASA’s Langley Research Center, and studied cutting-edge law enforcement and security techniques with the Secret Service, the US Air Force, NASA Protective Services, Scotland Yard, and Interpol.

Cornwell was born in Miami. She grew up in Montreat, North Carolina, and now lives and works in Boston and Los Angeles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Muy policial
Reviewed in Spain on February 5, 2024

Es un libro muy real y no le he puesto las 5 estrellas porque de lo real que es, hay momentos con expresiones que son muy técnicas para personas como yo, no familiarizadas con tecnicismos policiales. A aprte de esto, es una historia buena y además, hay unos cuantos más libros que siguen a éste.

Ce livre complète la collection des Scarpetta écrit par Patricia Cornwell. Étant fan de cette auteure, mon opinion n'est pas objective.
