Patricia Cornwell
Patricia Cornwell (born
Patricia Carroll Daniels; June 9, 1956) is an American
crime writer. She is known for her best-selling novels featuring
medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, of which the first was inspired by a series of sensational murders in
Richmond, Virginia, where most of the stories are set. The plots are notable for their emphasis on forensic science, which has influenced later TV treatments of police work. Cornwell has also initiated new research into the
Jack the Ripper killings, incriminating the popular British artist
Walter Sickert. Her books have sold more than 120 million copies.
