Cause of Death is a novel by author Patricia Cornwell.
The Cause of Death is a breathtaking mystery enhanced by the compelling narration of C. J. Critt.
On a quiet day, away from the hustle and bustle of Richmond, in a cottage on the Virginia coast, Dr. Kay Scarpetta received a disturbing phone call from the Chesapeake police. 30 feet deep in the murky waters of the Elizabeth River in Virginia, the body of a scuba diver was discovered near the Inactive Naval Shipyard.
When the police began searching for clues, the wallet of investigative reporter Ted Eddings was found. Disgusted by the possible identity of the victim, Scarpetta orders the crime scene to be activated and left alone until she arrives. What is he doing there, searching for Civil War relics as the officer suggested, or is there a bigger story? As she searches for numerous clues, a second murder occurs much closer to home. This new development places Scarpetta and her colleagues on the path of a military conspiracy.
