Scarpetta, an all-new Original Series, is out now on Prime Video!

Enter the chilling and captivating world of Dr. Kay Scarpetta before Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis bring the mystery to life onscreen.

"The new audience will be compelled by the characters, crimes, and mysteries that are the trifecta of Patricia's masterful storytelling... and a warning......there WILL be BLOOD." - Jamie Lee Curtis

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this "gripping" (People) thriller, the clues to a series of remorseless killings go up in smoke--and only Kay Scarpetta can find them.

"[Point of Origin] sears its way into the psyche . . . ablaze with Cornwell's finest, scariest writing."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The devastating fire tore through the horse farm, destroying everything it touched. Picking through the wreckage, Dr. Kay Scarpetta uncovers human remains--the work of an audacious and wily killer who uses fire to mask his brutal murders. And when Scarpetta learns that her old nemesis, Carrie Grethen, has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane and is somehow involved, the investigation becomes personal. Tragedy strikes close to home. And Scarpetta must match Grethen's every move with one of her own to douse the inferno of evil that threatens everyone around her. . . .
