Used book – Corpse X, Patricia Cornwell, Hélène Narbonne

A decomposed corpse is found aboard a Belgian cargo ship docked in Richmond. Despite a meticulous autopsy, Kay Scarpetta is unable to determine either the identity of the deceased or the cause of death. The only clues are a tattoo and blond hairs. Still haunted by Benton's death (Combustion), and facing intrigues from rival colleagues, Kay, accompanied by her loyal Marino, and still close to her niece Lucy, embarks on an investigation that will lead her to France, from Interpol's Lyon offices to the Paris morgue, before bringing her back to Virginia where a monstrous killer, the Werewolf, awaits her.

The twelfth bestseller, since Postmortem, from the international crime star.

Undoubtedly the darkest and best of Cornwell's novels. The Guardian.
