The first three Body Farm novels—Carved in Bone,
Flesh and Bone, and The Devil's Bones—took
readers deep into the backwoods of East Tennessee, where
fascinating forensic science mixed with extraordinary
characters, including the Farm's charismatic founder.
Now,
in the latest installment of the New York Times
bestselling series Kathy Reichs calls "the real deal,"
truth, lies, war, and history intertwine in a story that
reaches new heights of suspense. This is Jefferson Bass's
most ambitious and enthralling book yet.
Bones
of Betrayal Dr. Bill Brockton
is in the middle of a nuclear-terrorism disaster drill
when he receives an urgent call from the nearby town of
Oak Ridge—better known as Atomic City, home of the Bomb,
and the key site for the Manhattan Project during World
War II. Although more than sixty years have passed, could
repercussions from that dangerous time still be felt
today? With his graduate assistant Miranda
Lovelady, Brockton hastens to the death scene, where they
find a body frozen facedown in a swimming pool behind a
historic, crumbling hotel. The forensic detectives
identify the victim as Dr. Leonard Novak, a renowned
physicist and designer of a plutonium reactor integral to
the Manhattan Project. They also discover that he didn't
drown: he died from a searing dose of radioactivity.
As that same peril threatens the medical examiner and
even Miranda, Brockton enlists the help of a beautiful,
enigmatic librarian to peel back the layers of Novak's
life to the secret at its core. The physicist's house and
personal life yield few clues beyond a faded roll of
undeveloped film, but everything changes when Brockton
chances upon Novak's ninety-year-old ex-wife, Beatrice.
Charming and utterly unreliable, she takes him on a trip
back into Oak Ridge's wartime past, deep into the shadows
of the nuclear race where things were not quite as they
seemed. As Beatrice drifts between lucidity and
dementia, Brockton wonders if her stories are fact or
fancy, history or myth. But he knows one thing—that she
holds the key to a mystery that is becoming increasingly
labyrinthine. For as the radiation count steadily rises,
and the race to find the truth intensifies, the old
woman's tales hint at something far darker and more
complex than the forensic anthropologist himself could
have ever imagined.
