Description
Anyone who read Reichs’s successful novel Deja Dead will welcome the return of Dr Temperance Brennan. This time she is investigating a tragic case of arson in Montreal which eventually leads to the discovery of sinister, so-called ‘cult’ activity in the Carolinas. Drawing on her own experience as a forensic pathologist, Reichs writes confidently, providing a fresh slant on the business of detection, and an intriguing dual setting among the freezing storms of Quebec and the beach climate of Charlotte. This author is easily on a par with other great crime writers. Sensitive souls should note that there are some graphic descriptions of autopsy procedures. (Kirkus UK)
