Past, present, and future collide to throw
respected forensic
anthropologist Bill Brockton’s successful, secure life
into devastating turmoil in
this poignant novel in the New York Times bestselling
Body Farm mystery series.
It’s been ten years since Dr. Bill Brockton created the
Body Farm—the world’s first
postmortem research facility dedicated to advancing the
frontiers of forensic science
— and the researcher is at the pinnacle of his career.
Under his leadership, the
University of Tennessee’s forensic anthropology program
has become the most prominent
in the world, and Brockton’s skills and knowledge are in
high demand among top law
enforcement. Calling him in for a number of high profile
cases, the FBI now wants him
to identify the charred remains of a maverick
millionaire, killed in a fiery plane
crash.
But a storm is about to hit Brockton with cataclysmic
force. First, his
identification of the crash victim is called into
question. Then he receives a
threatening message from the serial killer who attempted
to murder the scientist and
his family a decade ago. And from Brockton’s beloved wife
Kathleen—his lodestone and
his source of security—he gets the most shocking news of
all. Will Brockton be able
to weather this deluge . . . or has he finally reached
the breaking point?
