Book description
Dr Temperance Brennan takes on a case that uncovers horrors she could
never have predicted.
It is the skeleton of a young girl, no more than fourteen years old
- and forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is struggling to control
her emotions.
The coroner is being evasive, insisting the bones are ancient and of
no interest. But this doesn't feel right, and Tempe is convinced that
someone is hiding something.
Working on instinct, Tempe takes matters into her own hands. But her
work uncovers horrors she could never have predicted, as what started
in the lab quickly becomes her most harrowing, and personal, case yet.
