"Fans of TV's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation should be in heaven"
(People) stepping into the world of forensic anthropologist Dr.
Temperance Brennan--she works with the dead, but she works for the
living.
"Down time" is not a phrase in Tempe Brennan's vocabulary. A string of
disturbing cases has put her vacation plans on hold; instead, she heads
to the lab to analyze charred remains from a suspicious fire, and a
mysterious black residue from a small plane crash. But most troubling of
all are the bones. Even more disturbing is the fact that bones turns up
on a family picnic in North Carolina--but are they animal or human?
X-rays and DNA may link the crimes, but they can't reveal who is closing
in on Tempe and her family. And how far they will go to keep her from
uncovering the truth?
