If you’ve ever watched the T.V. series Bones, you should thoroughly enjoy this book. If you even remotely like any of the CSI or NCIS type police dramas, you’ll love this book.
“To some the dead are a commodity. For Tempe Brennan, they hold the key to cracking a horrific crime ring.
Among the ancient remains in a Native American burial ground, Tempe discovers a fresh skeleton-and what began as an ordinary teaching stint at an archeology field school in Charleston, South Carolina, fast becomes a heated investigation into an alarming pattern of homicides. The clues hidden in the bones lead to a street clinic where a monstrous discovery awaits, and Tempe-whose personal life is in upheaval, with two men competing for her-can’t afford any distractions as she pieces together a shattering and terrifying puzzle.”
Dr. Temperance Brennan is in South Carolina at an off-site college anthropological dig on Dewees Island, when one of the students uncovers skeletal remains that seem a little “young” compared to what they have been unearthing. Tempe knows the medial examiner/coroner for the area and calls her old friend, Emma. They carefully remove the skeletal remains and surrounding dirt/sand to be moved to the county’s lab. During the course of trying to identify the corpse and examining the bones, Emma receives a call from the Sheriff about a possible suicide/hanging. Emma asks Tempe to hang around and help her out with the two bodies. Tempe decides she should stay and help her friend because she feels there is more to these two deaths than meets the eye. Two seemingly unrelated deaths have some commonalities. Read the book to find out what Tempe, with the help of the local sheriff and others, uncovers and begins to piece together. Enjoy.
