DESCRIPTION:
She is sent to investigate the putrefied remains of a man found inside a container ship, "eyes bulged froglike, and the scalp and beard were sloughing off with the outer layer of darkening skin." Kay finds strange, animal-like hairs on the man's clothing--the same hairs that she discovers on a murdered store clerk a few days later. Or, could it be that someone is deliberately sowing this harvest of sorrow? Despite her personal problems, Scarpetta is still the reigning diva at the department of death. Meanwhile, back at the office, someone has tinkered with the e-mail system, stealing Kay's identity, and sending off slanderous and
"after losing the love of her life" according to Linda Murphy on. Called to one of the most horrific crime scenes ever, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, tried to hold it together as she surveyed her surroundings. Not only was her personal life in total shambles after recently losing the love of her life, Benton Wesley but her professional life was waivering also. Although she didn't know it, but her next case and the crime scene before her would change everything, regarding herself and others close to her.

"Disappointed in Pittsburgh" according to ruth jurcic. I very much enjoyed this book and I have read most of the Scarpetta novel as by Patricia Cornwell.

OK, so the "Black Notice" of the title is a dead body that shows up in the first couple of chapters. By page 150 they still haven't even finished the autopsy. The plot is buried in layers of irrelevant and tedious detail presented with a tortured writing style.If that weren't bad enough, the majority of the first half of the book is dedicated not to this intruiging story line, but - and I'm not kidding here - to a burocratic power struggle amongst egotistical civil servants.
