206 Bones: A Novel | |
Kathy Reichs, number one New York Times bestselling author and producer of the FOX television hit Bones, returns with a spectacular new novel featuring America's favorite forensic anthropologist, Tempe Brennan.
There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, can read in them stories of brief or long lives, and use them to reconstruct every kind of violent end.
The twelfth Temperance Brennan novel from Kathy Reichs, 206 Bones opens with Tempe regaining consciousness and discovering that she is in some kind of very small, very dark, very cold enclosed space. She is bound, hands to feet. Is she buried alive? In some kind of cell? Who wants Tempe dead, or at least out of the way, and why? Tempe begins slowly to reconstruct...
Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy -- and the case. Someone made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call was dead. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third.
Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs conveys the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds.
With a popular series on FOX -- now in its fifth season and in full syndication -- Kathy Reichs is firmly established as a dominant talent in forensic mystery writing. Her signature blend of forensic descriptions that "chill to the bone" (Entertainment Weekly) and intense suspense have made her a number one New York Times bestseller and worldwide phenomenon.
作者简介 Kathy Reichs, like her fictional creation, Temperance Brennan, is
forensic anthropologist for the province of Quebec. She is Vice President
of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, serves on the Canadian
National Police Services Advisory Council, and is one of only fifty-six
forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic
Anthropology. A professor of anthropology at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, Dr. Reichs now divides her time between Charlotte
and Montreal. Déjà Dead, her debut novel, brought her
fame when it became a New York Times bestseller and won the 1997
Ellis Award for Best First Novel. In 2007 Break No Bones was short-
listed for the Ellis Award for Best Novel. Kathy Reichs is the inspiration
for the television drama Bones; her latest novel featuring
Temperance Brennan is Bones to Ashes. Her website is www.kathyreichs.com.
