If you read my blogs, it's because you like police thrillers with strong, intelligent and brave protagonists. I am passionate about forensic mysteries and conspiracies that put justice in check. I love reading because they allow me to dare to immerse myself in dark, complex plots full of surprises. If you also feel this passion, then you cannot miss The Last Redoubt, the eleventh installment of the Dr. Kay Scarpetta saga, created by acclaimed writer Patricia Cornwell.
The Last Redoubt is a novel that will captivate you from the first page, and that will take you on an exciting and dangerous journey alongside the most famous coroner in literature. This time, Kay Scarpetta faces the most difficult case of her career, and also the most personal of hers. After the death of her lover, FBI agent Benton Wesley, murdered by the sinister French mobster Jean-Baptiste Chandonne, Scarpetta finds herself involved in a web of intrigue and lies that mark her as a homicide suspect. Additionally, she discovers that there is a possible connection between Chandonne's crimes and Benton's death, leading her to question everything she thought she knew about her relationship.
To prove her innocence and find her truth, Scarpetta will have to turn to the last stronghold, a secret group of forensic experts who will help her unravel the clues and confront her enemies. But it won't be easy, because she will have to deal with betrayal, corruption, blackmail and fear. And also with her own ghosts, which torment her with painful memories and existential doubts.
The Last Redoubt is a novel that will keep you in suspense until the end, and that will make you feel all kinds of emotions: suspense, action, drama, romance, horror and even humor. Patricia Cornwell demonstrates once again her mastery in the genre, with agile, precise and enveloping prose, and with characters that transcend paper and become beings of flesh and blood, with their virtues and their defects, their lights and their shades.
If you are a fan of Dr. Scarpetta, you cannot stop reading The Last Redoubt, one of her best novels, and if you still don't know her, this is a perfect opportunity to discover one of the most fascinating heroines in contemporary literatura.
