These are two Debra Gingrich (Copyright 2007 & 2008) photos of Patricia Cornwell from the dust jackets of her 2007 release, BOOK OF THE DEAD (left photo) and her 2008 release, THE FRONT .
This photo of Cornwell posing in the guise of her lead character Kay Scarpetta, a Virginia medical examiner, was taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz and published in the May 1997 issue of Vanity Fair magazine for an article titled: Death Becomes Her, written by Judy Bachrach.. The photo appears distorted because of the page fold in the magazine.

The 2008 book, TWISTED TRIANGLE, which details the dramatic true tale of illicit love, attempted murder and FBI corruption. Written by veteran journalist Caitlin Rotherwith former FBI agent John Hess.. Published by Jossey-Bass, Copyright 2008.
Patricia Cornwell and FBI agent Marguerite Bennett (above left) were linked in a 1990's lesbian love affair. The involvement is the subject of a 'tell all' book shown above titled TWISTED TRIANGLE.
The pair are shown here at Hogan's Alley at Quantico, Virginia in April 1992.
Cornwell had met Margo Bennett while taking an FBI training course in Quantico, Va. According to Twisted Triangle, a slow flirtation developed between the two women, with Cornwell bestowing some generous gifts. Eventually they kissed (“Plain nerve endings going Fourth of July bonkers… I was mush,” is how Bennett effusively describes it), and slept together.
Bennett works presently as a Captain for the campus police at the University of California at Berkeley.
