In the latest blockbuster novel from bestselling author Kathy Reichs, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan investigates what looks to be a typical missing person case, only to find herself digging up bones possibly left by a serial killer, a cult, or perhaps something not entirely of this world. For every case that Temperance Brennan has solved, there remain numerous bodies that remain unidentified in her lab. Information on some of these cold cases is available online, where amateur detectives sometimes take a stab at solving cases. When Tempe gets a call from Hazel Lucky Strike, a web sleuth who believes shes successfully connected a body in Tempes lab to a missing eighteen-year-old girl, Tempe writes it off as another false alarm. Still reeling from her mothers diagnosis and the shock of Andrew Ryans potentially life-change proposal, Tempe has little patience for chasing false leads.
