"seems to be an intseting book. it makes you
not want to stop reading the book until you finish the book."
Media Reviews
"Some of the 70-odd cases here are gruesome; some are mysterious; all are sad. Many of these people are little more than a bone or two shipped to Ubelaker in a cardboard box. The book contains sketches of some who are (or were, when 'Bones' was written) still unidentified, accompanied by information about whom to contact if a sketch rings a bell. Look hard." -- David Pitt

Deja Dead
by Kathleen J. Reichs
Kathy Reichs blasts into Patricia Cornwell territory -- and onto the New York Times bestseller list -- with this critically acclaimed debut novel inspired by Reichs' own career. Dr. Temperance Brennan, the wry, impassioned director of forensic anthropology for the province of Quebec, is driven to unravel shocking acts of violence by reading the bones of the dead. In the year since Tempe left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Quebec. But when an unidentified female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in garbage bags, Tempe detects an alarming pattern within the grisly handiwork -- and her professional detachment gives way to a harrowing search for a killer in the city's winding streets. With little help from the police, Tempe calls on her expertise, honed in the isolated intensity of the autopsy suite, to investigate on her own. But her determined chase is about to place those closest to her -- her best friend and her daughter -- in mortal danger....
Grave Secrets
by Kathy Reichs
