No. 1 New York Times Bestselling author PATRICIA CORNWELL returns to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss IDENTITY UNKNOWN, her newest novel in the blockbuster Dr. Kay Scarpetta novels! This amazing series is about to launch on Amazon with an outstanding cast, including: Nicole Kidman (as Kay), Jamie Lee Curtis (Kay's sister, Dorothy), and Bobby Cannavale (as former detective Pete Marino)!

Before she wrote, Patricia asked herself what makes her wonder ... and then she enthralled us with her plot about unnatural phenomena and our present reality. We asked her about the importance of the heart-felt, heart-broken and heart-healing relationships that she weaves into these characters. Is love a mystery all its own? We discussed the otherworldly things happening in the background of this story, including "the others." Is the evil we know -- ourselves -- the one that should concern us the most? Patricia address AI and our constantly evolving technologies, especially in forensics. And of course we talked about the victim: the brilliant Sal Dante Giordano. He was an Italian astrophysicist and inventor ... and Dr. Kay Scarpetta's lifelong friend. He evokes the Renaissance polymaths of the past. We went as deep as we went high into the cosmos!
