Synopsis
Picking up where BLACK NOTICE leaves off, THE LAST PRECINCT finds Virginia medical examiner Kay Scarpetta under investigation for the murder of Chief of Police Diane Bray. As Scarpetta struggles to clear her name, two mutilated corpses are discovered by police. The murders bear all the hallmarks of the work of serial killer Jean Baptiste Chandonne. There's just one problem: Chandonne is in prison. It looks like Scarpetta has a copycat killer on her hands.
