About this ebook
A gripping Temperance Brennan novel from world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, the international no.1 bestselling crime thriller writer and the inspiration behind the hit TV series Bones.
When Dr Temperance Brennan is accused of mishandling the autopsy of a missing heiress, a routine case swiftly turns sinister. But before Tempe can get to the one man with the information she needs, he turns up dead.
In Montreal, three elderly women are found murdered, their bodies brutally discarded. Even though the clues don't add up, Tempe is certain of a link between their deaths and that of the heiress.
Has Tempe made grave errors, or is she being sabotaged by an unseen enemy? What is frighteningly clear is that more than just Tempe's career is at stake. Her life is also at risk.

Did you know that there are 206 bones in the human body? I didn't, but I do now and that's not the only interesting thing I have learned since reading this series. Every day is a school day with Kathy. This book actually starts quite differently to the rest of the series so far. It starts with Tempe in mortal danger from the outset. As the book goes on, it jumps between her current predicament and a case she was involved in previously.

I absolutely loved this book. Its only the second book I've read by this author. I firstly read Flash and Bones. I will keep reading books by this author. The only part i found annoying was i figured out who the bad person was half way through. Brilliant though. Good job.
