Kathy Reichs—#1 New York Times bestselling author
and producer of the FOX television hit Bones—returns
with the thirteenth riveting novel featuring forensic
anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan.
John
Lowery was declared dead in 1968—the victim of a Huey
crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North
Carolina. Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called
to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The
victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre
sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John
Lowery. But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an
American soldier end up in Canada?
Tempe sets off
for the answer, exhuming Lowery's grave in North Carolina
and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis—to the
headquarters of JPAC, the U.S. military's Joint POW/ MIA
Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who
have died in past conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by
her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how "ex"
is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own
tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with
Lowery's dog tags tangled among them. Three bodies—all
identified as Lowery.
And then Tempe is contacted by
Hadley Perry, Honolulu's flamboyant medical examiner, who
needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy
found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or
something much more sinister?
A complex and riveting
tale of deceit and murder unfolds in this, the thirteenth
thrilling novel in Reichs's "cleverly plotted and expertly
maintained series" (The New York Times Book Review).
With the smash hit Bones now in its fifth season and
in full syndication—and her most recent novel, 206 Bones,
an instant New York Times bestseller—Kathy Reichs
is at the top of her game.
