Title: Tough selling postmodern lit to die-hard Scarpetta fans...
Product review: If ever there was a reason for an author to use a pseudonym, this book is it! While her earlier Hammer/Brazil books were different from Scarpetta, they were accessible to fans.Somewhere there is a readership for this kitschy blend. Postmodern literature, the "no-rules genre", the gritty parody of contemporary social commentary and fanciful historical invention, sells widely internationally.How easy it would have been to publish under another name and then let it be known that this was another face of a well-known author. It would have seemed less a betrayal to her fans.
