Description
A gripping crime thriller from world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, author of the internationally bestselling Temperance Brennan series. Dr Temperance Brennan and her students are working on a site of prehistoric graves on an island near Charleston, South Carolina, when a decomposing body is uncovered in a shallow grave off a lonely beach. The bone is fresh and the remains are still topped by wisps of hair - it's a recent burial, and a case Tempe must take. Tempe determines that the deceased is a middle-aged white male, but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? As she delves deeper into the investigation, she finds herself drawn into a shocking case that will challenge her entire view of humanity. Another body is discovered, and Tempe must use her expertise to unravel the mystery. Kathy Reichs is a professional forensic anthropologist with decades of experience working with chief medical examiners, the FBI, and a United Nations Tribunal on Genocide. Her novels are known for their vividly authentic and realistic crime thrillers, which have captivated fans worldwide and inspired the hit TV series Bones.
