Execution
We wanted to draw potential readers into the mindset of the central character, a forensic coroner named Scarpetta. The concept is based on the insight that Scarpetta starts the story with a dead body and has to follow the clues backwards to solve the crime.
Outcome
The book sold an impressive 80,000 copies and reached number 6 on the Australian best sellers list.
