Book description
A plane crashes high in the mountains of North Carolina. But a
severed foot is discovered a good distance from the crash site.
Forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan is first on the
scene. Her task is a sickening one, and her investigation seems to be
raising more questions than answers.
But when Tempe starts asking dangerous questions, her professional
standing is threatened. Convinced that another corpse lies in the
woods, Tempe pits herself against a conspiracy of silence - and
uncovers a shocking tale of deceit and depravity.
