Temperance Brennan, like her creator Kathy Reichs, is a
brilliant, sexy forensic anthropologist called on to solve
the toughest cases. But for Tempe, the discovery of a
young girl's skeleton in Acadia, Canada, is more than just
another assignment. Évangéline, Tempe's childhood best
friend, was also from Acadia. Named for the character in
the Longfellow poem, Évangéline was the most exotic person
in Tempe's eight-year-old world. When Évangéline
disappeared, Tempe was warned not to search for her, that
the girl was "dangerous."
Thirty years later, flooded with memories, Tempe cannot
help wondering if this skeleton could be the friend she
lost so many years ago. And what is the meaning of the
strange skeletal lesions found on the bones of the young
girl?
Meanwhile, Tempe's beau, Ryan, investigates a series of
cold cases. Three girls dead. Four missing. Could the New
Brunswick skeleton be part of the pattern? As Tempe draws
on the latest advances in forensic anthropology to
penetrate the past, Ryan hunts down a serial predator.
