Description
The bones of a woman are discovered in the grounds of an abandoned monastery. The case is given to Dr Temperance Brennan of the Laboratoire de Medecine Legale in Montreal: ‘too decomposed for standard autopsy. Request anthropological expertise. My case.’ Brennan becomes convinced that a serial killer is at work, despite the deep cynicism of Detective Claudel who heads the investigation.
Dr. Brennan’s forensic expertise and contacts at Quantico finally convince him otherwise, but only after the body count has grown and the lives of those closest to her are more than just endangered.
