> Fiction Books > Crime Books
It's a summer of record-breaking heat in Charlotte, North Carolina and Dr Temperance Brennan is looking forward to her first vacation in years. She's almost out the door when the bones start appearing. First there's the newborn skeleton found in a wood stove. Who put the baby there? The mother, hardly more than a child herself, has disappeared.
Next, a small plane flies into a rock face on a sunny afternoon. Both pilot and passenger are burned beyond recognition, their bodies covered with a strange black substance. What could it be? What sinister mission might the two have been on?
Most puzzling is a cache of bones unearthed in a remote corner of the county. Some animal, some human, the bones are enough to keep Tempe busy for a long time. All the pieces of the mystery seem to lead back to an isolated farm. But what happened there and who will be the next victim? Tempe must find the answers by teasing secrets from the bones - if only she can decipher them in time . . .

Kathleen Joan "Kathy" Reichs was born in Chicago in 1950. She is a professor of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and also works for the state of Quebec. As a real life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs never has to stray to far from her day job for inspiration for her novels. Kathy has an impressive resume from college professor, author, working with the UN, FBI, and State Medical Examiners in Canada and the US. She also serves as a producer for the hit TV show Bones, loosely based on her novels, to "keep the science real".
It is easy to see how she can write accurate thrillers and mysteries, and she is well versed in the real techniques used by actual law enforcers. The central character in her books, Temperance "Tempe" Brennan, is also a forensic anthropologist, although the character is not strictly autobiographical, Tempe does mimic her creator in many ways.
