Post-Mortem is a crime fiction novel by author Patricia Cornwell and it was her debut novel. The first book of the Dr. Kay Scarpetta series, it received the 1991 Edgar Award for Best First Novel.

Post-Mortem, Patricia Cornwell’s first novel, was published in 1990 following advice from editors at Mysterious Press to dump the then-male central character and to expand the character of Kay Scarpetta. The novel was a major success and won numerous literary awards. The book is loosely based on the crimes of Timothy Wilson Spencer. Cornwell was working in the OCME at the time of his killings.
