Importance of Nine North Fourteenth Street

The address of the old chief medical examiner's office (OCME) where Scarpetta once worked. Edgar Allan Pogue ran the Anatomical Division in the basement of that building. After the OCME moved to the new Biotech II building, Pogue continued to work in the old building secretly, at night, cremating his murder victims. It is here Scarpetta finds the trace evidence she needs to link Pogue to the Gilly Paulsson murder.
