<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan returns in this follow-up to the bestselling "Deja Dead". This time, Brennan digs for a corpse where a nun who died a century ago should be lying in her grave. Sister Elizabeth Nicolet's life and death provides a welcome contrast to discoveries at a burning chalet, where scorched bodies are found.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>When a recent skeleton among ancient bones raises questions--and danger--forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is the only one who can solve the case in this "triumphant second appearance" (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>) from #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Kathy Reichs.</b> <p/>Tempe Brennan is stuck teaching an archaeology field school for students at UNCC in Charleston, South Carolina. <p/>When she stumbles upon a recent skeleton among the ancient bones, she starts asking questions. She's the expert they might have called in, but lucky for the police she's already there. The skeleton leads her to a free street clinic where patients have begun to go missing, and some have wound up dead. What is going on and who is to blame? The charismatic televangelist who oversees the clinic? The shady doctor who practices there? Or is it the clinic staff? <p/>Ryan is in Montreal, though he may come down for a visit. If he does, Tempe will have to juggle him and Detective Galiano, an old flame, who is in town investigating the disappearance of a wealthy young woman. This is a phenomenally high stakes business where one dead body can save a couple of lives, maybe more. Along with the corpses, Tempe investigates the sick moral logic of the mastermind behind the operation. <p/>Kathy Reichs has returned Tempe to America and put her in the middle of a sinister trafficking ring that's local and global. The suspense is intense, and the world is riveting. Kathy Reichs's books are expert and smart with a taut energy, and this is her best plot and writing yet.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs exploded onto bestseller lists worldwide with her phenomenal debut novel Deja Dead -- and introduced "[a] brilliant heroine" (Glamour) in league with Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta. Dr. Temperance Brennan, Quebec's director of forensic anthropology, now returns in a thrilling new investigation into the secrets of the dead.<P>In the bitter cold of a Montreal winter, Tempe Brennan is digging for a corpse buried more than a century ago. Although Tempe thrives on such enigmas from the past, it's a chain of contemporary deaths and disappearances that has seized her attention -- and she alone is ideally placed to make a chilling connection among the seemingly unrelated events. At the crime scene, at the morgue, and in the lab, Tempe probes a mystery that sweeps from a deadly Quebec fire to startling discoveries in the Carolinas, and culminates in Montreal with a terrifying showdown -- a nerve-shattering test of both her forensic expertise and her skills for survival.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Atmospheric, suspensefully paced.... a delectable tale of corpus delicti...bone-chilling prime crime." <p/> -- <i>People</i><br><br>"Brennan is a winner, and so is Reichs." <p/> -- <i>Daily News</i> (New York)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Kathy Reichs's first novel <i>Déjà Dead</i>, published in 1997, won the Ellis Award for Best First Novel and was an international bestseller. <i>The Bone Code </i>is Kathy's twentieth entry in her series featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. <i>Cold, Cold Bones </i>is her twenty-first.
