Don’t miss this “whopper” (Publishers Weekly) of a thriller from #1 NY Situations bestselling author Kathy Reichs in her “cleverly plotted” (THE BRAND NEW York Occasions) Temperance Brennan series, the inspiration for the hit FOX television series Bones.

John Lowery was declared inactive in 1968-the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried way back when in North Carolina. Four decades afterwards, Temperance Brennan is named to the picture of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim seems to have died about Spider Bones: A Novel within the midst of a bizarre intimate practice. The corpse is usually later defined as John Lowery. But how could Lowery possess passed away twice, and how do an American soldier end up in Canada?

Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowery’s grave in NEW YORK and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis-to the headquarters of JPAC, the US military’s Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Order, which strives to recover Americans who have died in recent issues. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how “ex” is definitely he?) and by her little girl, who is recovering from her own tragic loss. Quickly another set of remains is situated, with Lowery’s pet tags tangled among them. Three bodies-all defined as Lowery.

And Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulu’s flamboyant medical examiner, who requirements help identifying the remains of a teenager guy found offshore. Was he the victim of a bad shark assault? Or something a lot more sinister?
