From Potter's Field: A Kay Scarpetta Novel, Patricia Cornwell

"Cornwell's descriptions of nanotechnology, which are perfectly real, are chilling!" Metro

In Dover, at the only US military airbase that receives soldiers killed in action, Kay Scarpetta is training in revolutionary virtual autopsy techniques. She is very quickly put to the test: a young man has been found dead near her home in Cambridge. Heart attack, according to initial findings. But how can it be explained that he bled after arriving at the morgue, if not because he was still alive? A 3D X-ray reveals injuries Scarpetta has never seen. She then finds herself confronted with a past she thought was buried and a dilemma that is more than complex. Determined to conclude before it's too late, Dr. Scarpetta uses the cutting-edge techniques learned at the Haven of the Dead to confirm her suspicions.
