Unnatural Exposure: Patricia Cornwell

Dublin, Ireland and Richmond, Virginia - separated by thousands of miles but linked by murder. Dr. Scarpetta, on a leisure stint in Ireland, has the perfect opportunity to find out if the murders on opposite sides of the Atlantic are linked. Five dismembered, beheaded bodies were found in Ireland years ago - now four have been discovered in the US. But the tenth corpse in Virginia is different. There are vital discrepancies and evidence that the elderly victim was already seriously ill. A copy-cat killing - ghoulish, but not unusual. But when the next body is found, Scarpetta discovers that the killer is armed with the most lethal weapon on earth - smallpox.
