Scarpetta has a cheeky Patricia Cornwell cameo

Forensic crime fiction queen Patricia Cornwell published her first Dr. Kay Scarpetta novel 35 years ago, so you're damn right she deserves a cameo in Scarpetta, Liz Sarnoff's new Prime Video series.

Starring Nicole Kidman as Cornwell's iconic forensic pathologist, the crime procedural show includes a moment with the author in its very first episode.
