Kathy Reichs, página 2 de 6

Tempe Brennan ist zurück - und der Tod wartet schon! Was wie ein harmloser Exkurs auf eine idyllische Ferieninsel beginnt, endet für die forensische Anthropologin Tempe Brennan in einem Albtraum. Archäologische Grabungen im Sand von Dewees Island, South Carolina, fördern nicht nur bestattete Ureinwohner zutage, sondern auch eine Leiche, die erst vor wenigen Jahren verscharrt worden ist. Damit nicht genug. In einem Sumpfgebiet auf dem Festland werden Überreste eines vermeintlichen Selbstmörders entdeckt. Eigenartige Einkerbungen an den Halswirbeln des Toten sagen Tempe, dass eine makabre Verbindung zwischen den beiden Fällen bestehen muss ...

Reichs--#1 "New York Times"-bestselling author, forensic anthropologist, and producer of the FOX television drama "Bones"--returns to Charlotte, North Carolina, in her 11th riveting novel in which Temperance Brennan encounters a deadly mix of voodoo and devil worship.

Called to the scene is forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan Fighting her claustrophobia, and the unmistakeable sweet, fetid odour of rotting flesh, Tempe descends the precariously steep, mak

A decomposing body is uncovered in a shallow grave off a lonely beach... It's a recent burial, and a case Tempe Brennan must take. Dental remains and skeletal gender and race indicators suggest that the deceased is a middle-aged white male - but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? And what does the unusual fracture of the sixth cervical vertebra signify? But just as Brennan is trying to piece together the evidence, another body is discovered - and before long Tempe finds herself drawn deeper into a shocking and chilling investigation, set to challenge her entire view of humanity...

Temperance Brennan, like her creator Kathy Reichs, is a brilliant, sexy forensic anthropologist called on to solve the toughest cases. But for Tempe, the discovery of a young girl's skeleton in Acadia, Canada, is more than just another assignment. Évangéline, Tempe's childhood best friend, was also from Acadia. Named for the character in the Longfellow poem, Évangéline was the most exotic person in Tempe's eight-year-old world. When Évangéline disappeared, Tempe was warned not to search for her, that the girl was "dangerous." Thirty years later, flooded with memories, Tempe cannot help wondering if this skeleton could be the friend she lost so many years ago. And what is the meaning of the strange skeletal lesions found on the bones of the young girl? Meanwhile, Tempe's beau, Ryan, investigates a series of cold cases. Three girls dead. Four missing. Could the New Brunswick skeleton be part of the pattern? As Tempe draws on the latest advances in forensic anthropology to penetrate the past, Ryan hunts down a serial predator.

Un drogué enterré, une clocharde noyée, un ancien flic pendu : il fallait bien tout le talent de Temperance Brennan pour distinguer, derrière la diversité des modes opératoires, la main d'un même homme. À défaut d'un statut social, d'un profil physique ou d'une scène de crime comparables, tous ont un point commun : ils ne manqueront à personne. Et tous portent, sur une vertèbre bien précise, la signature insolite de leur assassin. Sous le soleil de Charleston, fleuron de la vieille Caroline du Sud, les vacances de Tempe tournent vite au délire. Quand l'anthropologue judiciaire n'est pas mandatée d'urgence auprès d'un squelette, elle doit jouer les négociatrices entre Peter, son ex-mari, et Ryan, son nouvel amant. Les caprices du coeur, pourtant, ne sont rien : dans cette affaire, ce sont bien d'autres organes qui entrent en jeu.

Starred Review. At the start of bestseller Reichs's outstanding 12th thriller to feature Dr. Temperance Brennan (after Devil Bones), Brennan finds herself bound and injured in an underground tomb. In flashbacks, Reichs fills in the how and why of the forensic anthropologist's deadly predicament. When Brennan and Andrew Ryan of the Sûreté du Québec arrive in Chicago on business, she's accused of botching the autopsy of Rose Jurmain, a Canadian heiress. Knowing only that an anonymous caller instigated the investigation, Brennan is determined to uncover who's out to sabotage her. Back in her Montreal lab, Brennan soon realizes that not only is Jurmain's death possibly linked to the brutal murders of other elderly women but that whoever is out to tarnish her reputation refuses to back off. With her usual blend of cutting-edge forensic science and a stubborn, compelling heroine, Reichs manages to juggle several story lines without losing an ounce of momentum.

An orthodox Jew is found shot dead in Montreal, the mutilated body is barely recognisable.
