Hornet's Nest

Crime thriller intertwines with quirky character studies.

If you enjoy a blend of mystery and humor with a slice of police procedural, "Hornet's Nest" might be just up your alley. Virginia West's character shines in dealing with the chaos of colorful crimes and workplace dynamics, all while mentoring an overeager rookie reporter. Patricia Cornwell steps away from her usual forensic focus to delve into the personal lives of her characters, giving you both a captivating storyline and an intimate look at their quirks and struggles. It's a fresh take for Cornwell fans and a fun pick for those who like their crime stories served with a side of human interest.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Deputy Chief Virginia West likes and respects her boss, Hammer, but with an increasing number of visiting businessmen being murdered in her city by a maniac with a penchant for painting his victims bright orange, she finds it hard to accept Hammer's edict that a rookie reporter should ride on patrol with her to better relations with their citizens. Her worst fears are confirmed when the reporter, Brazil, presses the button to activate the boot-release rather than the siren on their first outing. He's not the only blight on her life right now: her cat's angsty, her hormones are misbehaving, her opposite member in the uniformed division is behaving like a jackass, the radio despatched is determined to trip her up, the D.A. is in the middle of a hot battle with Hammer and the visiting judge's bladder problems are causing havoc with the trial schedule. And orange coloured corpses keep turning up on her patch.
