Info on Amazon.com : "Patricia Cornwell turns from forensics to police procedures in her latest novel, Hornet's Nest. This book is less a thriller than a character study of the main characters: Judy Hammer, chief of police in Charlotte, North Carolina; Hammer's deputy, Virginia West; and Andy Brazil, a young reporter assigned to ride with the police as they go about their jobs."

read and release !

I picked this up in Gent, Belgium. I really needed to read something in English.
I am leaving it in a coffee shop in California.
(Note for you in Benelux, here coffee shop means a place to drink coffee, not to smoke anything)
