Description
The latest blockbuster suspense novel in the pulse-pounding Temperance Brennan series, from #1 New York Times bestselling author and forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs.
For every case Temperance Brennan has solved, there remain innumerable unidentified bodies in her lab. Information on some of these is available online, where amateur sleuths sometimes take a stab at solving cases.
One day, Tempe gets a call from Hazel โLuckyโ Strike, a web sleuth who believes sheโs successfully connected a body in Tempeโs lab to a missing persons report on an eighteen-year-old named Cora Teague. Since the bones in her lab do seem to match Coraโs medical records, Tempe looks into the case, returning to the spot where the bones were originally found. What seems at first to be an isolated tragedy takes on a more sinister cast as Tempe uncovers two more sets of bones nearby.
When she then learns that the area is known as a viewing point for a famous unexplained light phenomenon with significance for a local cult, Tempeโs suspicious turn to murder by ritual sacrificeโa theory thrown into question when Hazel herself turns up dead.
