The Bone Bed by Patricia Cornwell

Another chapter in the Scarpetta life story, and yet again, a riveting one. This story takes us through abduction, identity theft, untrustworthy employee's, dangerous temptation and of course, murder. 
After Scarpetta receives an email containing the only evidence to a missing person's case in Canada her concerns are raised as to why was it sent to her? When Lucy discovers that the email was sent using the iPhone of the paleontologist that went missing 9 months ago from as close to her own location as the local airport Scarpetta gets a familiar sense of dread. With no definitive leads to follow Scarpetta is forced to concentrate on what lies ahead, a court appearance she deems ridiculous and unnecessary and a call in of a body that has been found attached to an endangered turtle caught up in fishing ropes in the harbor. As the next few days unfold Scarpetta discovers that maybe all these seemingly unconnected cases have a common link after all, and can she find out the truth in time to save anyone else?  Meanwhile Benton has to come clean about another woman when Scarpetta comes face to face with her and Marino has some dangerous secrets of his own.
This is once again full of personal drama and the twisted plot of a cruel killer all combined into one spectacular story!
