About The Book

In the scorching Charlotte summer, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is ready to escape on her first vacation in years - a romantic getaway. But before she can leave, the bones begin to appear. First, the charred remains of a newborn are discovered in a woodstove, and the young mother has vanished. Then, a small plane crashes in a North Carolina cornfield, leaving two bodies burned beyond recognition and coated in a mysterious black substance. Most disturbing of all are the bones uncovered by Tempes dog on a remote farm - remains that defy easy explanation. As Tempe teams up with detective Andrew Ryan, she must untangle a terrifying case that grows more personal by the hour. Her daughter Katy has a new boyfriend Tempe doesnt trust, and unsettling questions about loyalty and commitment weigh on her own heart. But someone is watching Tempe. Someone is watching Katy. And someone will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. 

Fast-paced, gritty, and packed with Reichss signature forensic detail, Bare Bones is a master class in suspense - a must-read for fans of female detective thrillers, medical crime fiction, and the long-running Temperance Brennan series that inspired the hit TV show Bones.
