From Patricia Cornwell comes a tense and forensic-driven installment in the Kay Scarpetta series—where science, danger, and suspicion collide.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta has taken on a new role at a military mortuary facility, working with advanced forensic technology and high-level investigations.

But when she returns to the United States, she finds herself at the centre of a troubling case involving the suspicious death of a young woman.

As Scarpetta begins to examine the evidence, inconsistencies start to emerge—raising questions not only about the case, but about those around her.

With pressure mounting and trust becoming increasingly fragile, she must rely on her expertise to uncover the truth—while navigating threats that feel dangerously close to home.

As the investigation deepens, Scarpetta is forced to confront the possibility that the real danger may not be where she expected.

Dark, intelligent, and full of tension, Port Mortuary explores forensic science, deception, and the complexities of trust.
