#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, a maker of the Fox strike show Bones, is back with her fifteenth “pulse-pounding” (Web publishers Weekly) novel featuring North America’s favorite forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan-a tale of infanticide and murder set in the high stakes, high risk world of diamond mining.

Beneath a diamond’s perfect surface area lies a story of violence and greed. Just like bones…

In a run-down Montreal apartment, Tempe finds heartbreaking evidence of three about Bones Are Forever: A Book innocent lives ended. The landlord says Alma Rogers lives there-is she the same woman who checked right into a town hospital as Amy Roberts, after that fled before doctors could treat her uncontrolled bleeding? Is normally she Alva Rodriguez, sought by a man who appeared at the crime scene? Proceeding up an investigation crackling with the intimate tension of recent intimacies, Tempe prospects homicide detective Andrew Ryan and police sergeant Ollie Hasty along the woman’s trail and into the farthest reaches of mining country-where the grim industry of unearthing diamonds exacts a cost in bloodstream. And where the truths the unlikely trio uncovers are even more sinister than they could possess imagined.
