Ringkasan plot
After Diane Bray's death and a clear attack on Kay Scarpetta by Jean-Baptiste Chandonne in her own home at the end of Black Notice, The Last Precinct concentrated on finding the full story behind Chandonne's murder. Kay Scarpetta was also suspected of Bray's murder, because of their known rivalry and public confrontation. Torn between the desire to clear the names and instincts of the wounded animal against even its rescue candidates, Kay screened out the forensic evidence that seemed to link Chandonne with past events in her life, up to and including the murder of her lover, Benton Wesley. The new main character is Jaime Berger, from the District Prosecutor's Office in New York, who believes that Chandonne killed a woman in New York two years before her arrival in Virginia. Kay had to check her own fears, misunderstandings, and motives-other than-altruistic to accept working with other competent women.

Trial around The Last Precinct
Dr. Leslie Sachs, author of The Virginia Ghost Murders (1998), admits to seeing a similarity between his novel and Cornwell novel The Last Precinct. In 2000 he sent a letter to Cornwell publishers, started a page on the World Wide Web, and placed a sticker on his novel to claim that Cornwell was doing plagiarism. Cornwell managed to get an early court order against Sachs. The court ruled that his claim was unfounded, and he was prevented from placing a sticker on his book. The court also closed its website for false advertising and asked the bookseller to remove stickers already in the book.
Sachs left the country so she could get away with the order. He continues to accuse that Cornwell plagiarized his work and used his influence to subvert justice.
