With unparalleled high-tension suspense and the latest in forensic technology, Patricia Cornwell once again proves her exceptional ability to surprise—and to thrill—in this electrifying Kay Scarpetta novel.A body, oddly draped in an unusual cloth, has just been discovered inside the sheltered gates of MIT, and it’s suspected the identity is that of missing computer engineering grad student Gail … grad student Gail Shipton, last seen the night before at a trendy Cambridge bar. It appears she’s been murdered, mere weeks before the trial in her $100 million lawsuit against her former financial manager, and Massachusetts Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta doubts it’s a coincidence. She also fears the case may have a connection with her computer genius niece, Lucy.
In Dust, Scarpetta and her colleagues are up against a force far more sinister than a sexual predator who fits the criminal classification of a “spectacle killer.” The murder of Gail Shipton soon leads deep into the dark world of designer drugs, drone technology, organized crime, and shocking corruption at the highest levels.

Cornwell at her best.
Patricia Cornwell is an exceptional author.

not interesting.
h
Patricia Cornwells Scarpetta series in the beginning were awesome. I don’t know what happened but now there just ok.
Too many words wondering around with no where to go. Not her best effort.
Way too talky, not enough action.
I enjoy all of P. C’s books
Great read !
Had a few slow spots but well written good story
All our old friends are back – Scarpetta, Benton, Marino and Lucy.
Goodstory, hard to put down. Action-packed and full of Lucy’s newest
technology which may or may not actually exist. Either way – fun to speculate!
Predictable. Formulaic.
For Cornwall, a boring “thriller,” lacking in action.
Love this author!!!!! I read all of her books!!!!!
excellent
Only part way through, seems to be one of her better thrillers
