Kathy Reichs—#1 New York Times bestselling
author and producer of the FOX television hit
Bones—returns with a riveting new novel set in
Charlotte, North Carolina, featuring America’s favorite
forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance Brennan.
Just as
200,000 fans are pouring into town for Race Week, a body is
found in a barrel of asphalt next to the Charlotte Motor
Speedway. The next day, a NASCAR crew member comes to
Temperance Brennan’s office at the Mecklenburg County
Medical Examiner to share a devastating story. Twelve years
earlier, Wayne Gamble’s sister, Cindi, then a high school
senior and aspiring racer, disappeared along with her
boyfriend, Cale Lovette. Lovette kept company with a group
of right-wing extremists known as the Patriot Posse. Could
the body be Cindi’s? Or Cale’s?
At the time of their
disappearance, the FBI joined the investigation, only to
terminate it weeks later. Was there a cover-up? As Tempe
juggles multiple theories, the discovery of a strange,
deadly substance in the barrel alongside the body throws
everything into question. Then an employee of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention goes missing during Race
Week. Tempe can’t overlook the coincidence. Was this man
using his lab chemicals for murder? Or is the explanation
even more sinister? What other secrets lurk behind the
festive veneer of Race Week?
A turbocharged story of
secrets and murder unfolds in this, the fourteenth thrilling
novel in Reichs’s “cleverly plotted and expertly maintained
series” (The New York Times Book Review). With the
smash hit Bones about to enter its seventh season and
in full syndication—and her most recent novel, Spider
Bones, an instant New York Times bestseller—Kathy
Reichs is at the top of her game.
