<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The French police call on the Skeleton Detective when a dog digs up some human bones: "Terrific" --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/> Les-Eyzies-de-Tayac is known for three things: pâté de fois gras, truffles, and prehistoric remains. The little village, in fact, is the headquarters of the prestigious Institute de Préhistoire, which studies the abundant local fossils. But when a pet dog emerges from a nearby cave carrying parts of a human skeleton--by no means a fossilized one--Chief Inspector Lucien Anatole Joly puts in a call to his old friend, Gideon Oliver, the famed "Skeleton Detective." Once Gideon arrives, murder piles on murder, puzzle on puzzle, and twist follows twist in a series of unexpected events that threaten to tear the once sober, dignified Institut apart. It takes a bizarre and startling forensic breakthrough by Gideon to bring to an end a trail of deception thirty-five thousand years in the making. <p/> Skeleton Dance <i>is the 10th book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.</i> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Aaron Elkins is a former anthropologist and professor who has been writing mysteries and thrillers since 1982. His major continuing series features forensic anthropologist-detective Gideon Oliver, "the Skeleton Detective." There are fifteen published titles to date in the series.
