Kay Scarpetta
Kay Scarpetta is a fictional character inspired by former Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Marcella Farinelli Fierro. She is the protagonist in a series of crime novels written by Patricia Cornwell noted for their use of recent forensic technology. The name "Scarpetta" is a diminutive, meaning "little shoe", as revealed in the 2009 novel The Scarpetta Factor, which points out that the underlying pun is similar to "Caligula", which means "little boot" in Latin. The novel features a website named Caligula, which is involved indirectly in the murder of a young woman.
