A Night in with Patricia Cornwell

A Night in with Patricia Cornwell

Join the queen of crime, Patricia Cornwell, in conversation with No. 1 bestselling author of The Guest List, Lucy Foley, to discuss the newest release in her thrilling Kay Scarpetta series, Identity Unknown

Patricia’s Kay Scarpetta series has sold over 120 million copies and is set to become a major Amazon TV series starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis, but her journey began with the groundbreaking Postmortem. Written during her time at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, it was a research position that was only supposed to last a year but became a life-changing experience in forensic pathology. After a tip from an editor and six years of perseverance, Patricia rose to the top of crime fiction and has been captivating readers ever since. 

Today, Patricia’s novels and iconic characters are known around the world. Not one to shy away from frank discussions, she will share her personal battles and triumphs, encouraging you to examine yourself and confront challenges head-on. 

Patricia’s story is as compelling as the characters she creates. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from the writer and gain key insights into her macabre masterpieces. 

“Iconic. Bold. Brilliant. Identity Unknown is hauntingly original, impossibly clever and devilishly daring. Scalpel-sharp storytelling, trademark twists and characters that feel like family, this series is one of the all-time greats.” Chris Whitaker, author of Sunday Times bestseller All the Colours of the Dark
