The city of Charlotte is rocked by a series of brutal murders of tourists. Commander Hammer, Detective West, and young journalist Andy Brazil must catch a dangerous serial killer before total chaos takes hold.
"Hornet's Nest" is a tense crime novel by Patricia Cornwell that launches a police series featuring Chief Judy Hammer and journalist Andy Brazil. Set in Charlotte, North Carolina, the story begins when a series of mysterious and brutal murders of foreign tourists sparks widespread panic, politicizes the case, and places immense pressure on local authorities from both the media and the public. Police Chief Judy Hammer and her steadfast deputy, Virginia West, face a daunting challenge—a situation further complicated by the arrival of Andy Brazil, an ambitious and talkative young reporter who also serves as a police volunteer. Although the investigation forces these disparate personalities together, the trio must overcome personal conflicts, bureaucratic hurdles, and a media frenzy to track down a calculating killer. Rich in authentic police procedural details, internal political intrigue, and psychological tension, the novel offers a fast-paced, realistic, and multi-layered look at the fight against crime—and the heavy price law enforcement officers pay in their pursuit of justice.
