The novel begins "inside the virtual-reality theater [where] thereare twelve of Italy’s most powerful law enforcers and politicians, whose names, in the main, forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta can’t keep straight” (Cornwell 9).

If you use a quote that takes up 4 lines or more in YOUR PAPER, you must block it. • Indent 10 spaces from the left (tab twice). • DO NOT use quote marks unless they are in the original text. • Place the period BEFORE the internal documentation (author’s last name and page number).

The lab is described in detail: Inside her lab of old brick walls and fir- wood flooring is her computer domain, which is secured from outside world by bullet-and and hurricane-proof windows, the shades always drawn. Lucy sits before a work station that is connected to a sixty- four-gigabiteserver with a chassis built of 6 U unmountable racks. (Cornwell 93) Block Quote Example
