Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a twisty, unputdownable thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who finds herself at the center of a Washington, DC, arson investigation that spawns deepening levels of mystery and, ultimately, violence.
Always apprehensive about working fire scenes, Tempe is called to Washington, DC, to analyze the victims of a deadly blaze and sees her misgivings justified. The devastated building is in Foggy Bottom, a neighborhood with a colorful past and present, and Tempe becomes suspicious about the property's ownership when she delves into its history.

The pieces start falling into place strangely and quickly, and, sensing a good story, Tempe teams with a new ally, telejournalist Ivy Doyle. Soon the duo learns that back in the thirties and forties the home was the hangout of a group of bootleggers and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. Though interesting, this fact seems irrelevant—until the son of a Foggy Bottom gang member is shot dead at his home in an affluent part of the district. Coincidence? Targeted attacks? So many questions.

As Tempe and Ivy dig deeper, an arrest is finally made. Then another Foggy Bottom Gang-linked property burns to the ground, claiming one more victim. Slowly, Tempe's instincts begin pointing to the obvious: somehow, her moves since coming to Washington have been anticipated, and every path forward seems to bring with it a lethal threat.

        July 1, 2024
        Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan gets talked into spending an endless week in the nation's capital--though it's not nearly as hellish for her as for the victims on whose behalf she toils. On the point of joining her lover, Det.-Lt. Andrew Ryan of the S�ret� du Quebec, for a rare holiday weekend trip to Savannah, Tempe gets a call from Dr. Jada Thacker, Washington's interim medical examiner, begging her to come up to help identify victims from a fire in an illegal Airbnb even though it's Memorial Day and there are no flights to D.C. and no hotel rooms to be had. Naturally Tempe agrees, driving up to the city and staying the night with Ivy Doyle, a television news reporter who was embedded with Tempe's daughter, Katy, in Afghanistan. That one-night stay gets extended further and further as new details of the case pop up. The most pivotal of these is Tempe's own discovery of a fifth corpse in the building's subcellar, a space that doesn't even appear on the building's plans. Unlike the other four victims, this woman wasn't killed in the fire; she's been dead for at least five years--in fact, as it turns out, for a lot longer. Determined to get justice for a woman she can't even identify, Tempe agrees to stay on and do whatever it takes. The roots of the case go so deep into the past that there's room for a surprising number of guilty parties--and a remarkable number of red herrings that are blithely dismissed in the final chapter. If you think this installment isn't up to this long-running series' high average, just wait till next year.

        July 19, 2024
        In Washington, DC, in the storied neighborhood of Foggy Bottom, a century-old building has been destroyed by fire; it is believed that several people have died. Investigators ask Temperance Brennan, the noted forensic anthropologist, to help identify the bodies. With the help of television journalist Ivy Doyle--a welcome addition to the series' ever-growing cast of supporting characters--Tempe digs into the history of the building and makes some startling and potentially deadly discoveries. This is the twenty-third Brennan novel; the first, Deja Dead, was published nearly thirty years ago. While it is certainly true that the books are somewhat formulaic, it is also true that it's a winning formula and that Reichs keeps things lively and unpredictable by constantly introducing new characters and plot variations. And being a forensic anthropologist herself, Reichs is able to give her stories a level of realism and accuracy that a nonprofessional might struggle to achieve. It's an excellent series, and this is an excellent entry in it.
