The key to a modern
murder lies in the sands of history.
Examining a badly decomposed corpse is de
rigueur for forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.
But puzzling damage on the body of a shooting victim, an
Orthodox Jewish man, suggests this is no ordinary Montreal
murder. When a stranger slips Tempe a photograph of a
skeleton unearthed at an archaeological site, Tempe
uncovers chilling ties between the dead man and secrets
long buried in the dust of Israel. Traveling there with
Detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe plunges into an international
mystery as old as Jesus, and centered on the controversial
discovery of Christ's tomb. Has a mastermind lured her
into an elaborate hoax? If not, Tempe may be on the brink
of rewriting two thousand years of history -- if she can
survive the foes dead set on burying her.
