This is a used Hardcover copy of the Book of the Dead. This is part of the Kay Scarpetta series If you enjoy#crimenovels, Patricia Cornwell's novel will keep you on your toes. I love the character Kay Scarpetta and her niece Lucy and enjoy that I can build a bond with the character through numerous novels Original retail $26.95 This book is in fair to good condition. The only reason I say fair is there is a stain on the bottom of the book. It does go about an inch up into the inner corner of the pages. It does not go into the text or in any way obstruct reading. #crimefiction#patriciacornwell
