UNNATURAL DEATH Kay Scarpetta, Book 27

Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, portrayed by January LaVoy, works side by side with her niece, Secret Service Agent Lucy Farinelli, to solve the murders of two suspected Russian spies. At a remote crime scene in the woods, an investigator casts an unusual oversized footprint and sends it to the lab for evaluation in secret. LaVoy's warm yet businesslike delivery avoids tangling too much with complex medical terms. Even as Scarpetta's sense of well-being increases, LaVoy keeps listeners on edge by building the momentum of the complicated murders and complex politics.
