Scarpetta's winter table - Patricia Daniels Cornwell

When Dr Kay Scarpetta isn't involved with solving crimes, she is concocting delicious dishes in her kitchen, and in SCARPETTA'S WINTER TABLE Patricia Cornwell takes her readers behind the scenes for intimate glimpses of her three main characters - Scarpetta, her niece, Lucy, and Pete Marino as they come together to celebrate the week between Boxing Day 'the biggest letdown day of the year' and New Year's Eve.

Scarpetta creates her special pizza, Marino concocts his 'cause of death eggnog' and Lucy supplies her colleagues from the ATF with a very special breakfast.

This is a present from Cornwell to her readers (and she is donating her royalties to her favourite children's charity) which gives a special insight into her best-known characters.
