To Deputy Chief Virginia West the press is the enemy and her first encounter with Andy Brazil - lounging in her office taking notes while she was on the phone - raises her blood pressure as high as the headquarters of the US Bank Corporate Centre, which houses a whole bunch of other enemies.

Synopsis
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.
