Kathy Reichs, #1 New York Times bestselling author
and producer of the FOX televison hit Bones, is at
her brilliant best in a riveting novel featuring forensic
anthropologist Tempe Brennan—a story of infanticide, murder,
and corruption, set in the high-stakes, high-danger world of
diamond mining.
A woman calling herself Amy Roberts
checks into a Montreal hospital complaining of uncontrolled
bleeding. Doctors see evidence of a recent birth, but before
they can act, Roberts disappears. Dispatched to the address
she gave at the hospital, police discover bloody towels
outside in a Dumpster. Fearing the worst, they call
Temperance Brennan to investigate.
In a run-down
apartment Tempe makes a ghastly discovery: the decomposing
bodies of three infants. According to the landlord, a woman
named Alma Rogers lives there. Then a man shows up looking
for Alva Rodriguez. Are Amy Roberts, Alma Rogers, and Alva
Rodriguez the same person? Did she kill her own babies? And
where is she now?
Heading up the investigation is
Tempe’s old flame, homicide detective Andrew Ryan. His
counterpart from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is
sergeant Ollie Hasty, who happens to have a little history
with Tempe himself, which she regrets. This unlikely trio
follows the woman’s trail, first to Edmonton and then to
Yellowknife, a remote diamond-mining city deep in the
Northwest Territories. What they find in Yellowknife is more
sinister than they ever could have imagined.
Crackling with sexual tension, whip-smart dialogue,
and the startling plot twists Reichs delivers so well,
Bones Are Forever is the fifteenth thrilling novel in
Reichs’s “cleverly plotted and expertly maintained series”
(The New York Times Book Review). With the FOX series
Bones in its eighth season and her popularity at its
broadest ever, Kathy Reichs has reached new heights in
suspenseful storytelling.
