      The Body Farm - a research institute that tests the decomposition of corpses. Black Mountain, North Carolina: a sleepy little town where the local police deal with one homicide a year, if they're unlucky, and where people are still getting used to the idea of locking their doors at night. But violent death is no respecter of venue, and the discovery of the corpse of the corpse of an 11-year-old girl sends shock waves through the community. Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief medical Examiner on a similar case in Virginia, is called in to apply her forensic skills to this latest atrocity, but the apparent simplicity of the case proves something of a poisoned chalice - until Scarpetta finds enlightenment through the curious pathologists' playground known as the Body Farm.

      Ah, the taste and feel of blood when all passion and greed is sharpened in that one desire!' Lestat: a vampire - but very much not the conventional undead, for Lestat is the truly alive. Lestat is vivid, ecstatic, stagestruck, and in his extravagant story he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth-century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory; from fin-de-siecle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth-century world of rock superstardom - as, pursued by the living and the dead, he searches across time for the secret of his own dark immortality.

      Scándalo (1986) es una novela que revela, de manera lúcida y despiadada, los miedos y obsesiones de un escritor que ha alcanzado una edad avanzada, explorando la frágil frontera que separa el estudio de los gestos violentos y depravados de su comisión efectiva. A los sesenta y cinco años, Suguro es apreciado por lectores, críticos y colegas, aunque hay voces que ironizan su rigor moral y reticencia respecto a los problemas sexuales. Todo parece indicar que lo espera una vejez tranquila junto a su esposa, pero este escenario se desmorona en el momento en que una mujer lo acusa de que la vida que lleva contradice flagrantemente las premisas sobre las que se fundamentan sus escritos, denunciándolo como un cliente asiduo de burdeles y sex-shops en Tokio. Suguro, amenazado por un periodista vengativo con desatar un verdadero escándalo en la prensa, se ve obligado a desentrañar el misterio de esta acusación y descubre así la existencia de un doble suyo, un "gemelo maligno" con inclinaciones sadomasoquistas. Con su inigualable maestría, Endo nos ofrece en Scándalo una meditación sutil sobre la identidad, el arte y el mal.
