The Scarpetta Factor by Patricia Cornwell

This book is actually from a series about the Chief Madical Examiner Kay Scarpetta.
In this particular book Scarpetta is offering her services pro bono to the New York City's of the Chief Medical Examiner. She becomes involved in the case of a famous actor who is accused of an unthinkable crime and the disappearance of a beautiful millionaire with whom her niece shared a secret past.
On top of that, Scarpetta's CNN producer wants her to launch a new TV show called "The Scarpetta Factor".
Her growing fame and increased visibility result in a strange package - possibly a bomb - being delivered to her apartment building.

This book is not for weak nerves and probably not for children under 16. But if you're old enough, it will have you captivated until the very end.
