Publisher's Summary:
Kathy Reichsnumber-one New York Times best-selling author and producer of the Fox television hit Bonesreturns with the 13th riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan.
John Lowery was declared dead in 1968the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina. Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John Lowery. But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada?
Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowerys grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysisto the headquarters of JPAC, the U.S. militarys Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how ex is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowerys dog tags tangled among them. Three bodiesall identified as Lowery.
And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulus flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or something much more sinister?
Critic Reviews:
"Reichs, a former forensic anthropologist herself, whose early books were occasionally a bit clunky (it's not a smooth transition, apparently, from deconstructing bones to constructing sentences), has developed into a solid writer. Fans of the television series Bones, based on Reich's life and career, will note plenty of differences between the show and the novels, but they will find that Brennan on the page still offers much to enjoy." (Booklist)
"Reichs, who once again uses her own scientific knowledge to enhance a complex plot and continually developing characters, delivers a whopper of a final twist." (Publishers Weekly)
