Author Patricia Cornwell

There is a select group of fiction writers whose next book is eagerly anticipated by legions of fans around the world.

Her investigator Kay Scarpetta has featured in two dozen novels, and inspired a host of imitators. The author herself talks of her determination to confront and control her fears - do her books tell us what she's frightened of?
