Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Following the success of "Cross Bones," Kathy Reichs delves into another gripping case in this installment, where forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan finds herself embroiled in a disturbing international scheme. Summoned to South Carolina to substitute for a negligent colleague, Tempe is tasked with teaching a lackluster archaeology field school on a Native American burial ground. However, her routine takes a dark turn when she discovers a fresh skeleton among ancient remains. Local coroner Emma Rousseau convinces Tempe to assist with the investigation, revealing a chilling secret that heightens the urgency of the case. As the body count rises—starting with an unidentified man found hanging in the woods and another corpse discovered in a barrel—Tempe uncovers mysterious nicks on bones and signs of strangulation. Her search leads her to a street clinic with a hostile staff, a dubious doctor, and a charismatic televangelist donor. Amidst the investigation, Tempe's personal life complicates matters further, with her current boyfriend Ryan visiting from Montreal while her ex-husband Pete investigates a local woman's disappearance, both vying for her attention. This taut thriller showcases Reichs's skill in crafting high-stakes crime narratives, with Tempe at her most compelling.
