Bones of Betrayal: A Body Farm Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"The forensic thriller meets a formidable slice of history....A riveting mystery with an intricately emotional conclusion."
—Washington Post
Bones of Betrayal is the fourth heart-racing "Body Farm" thriller from the world's top forensic anthropologist. Kathy Reichs calls author Jefferson Bass, "the real deal," and his hero Bill Brockton has already taken his rightful place alongside Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta and the investigators on TV's "C.S.I." In Bones of Betrayal, a hideous murder has links that connect it to World War Two's Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb—adding a fascinating historical element that enriches an already superior crime series.

"Bones of Betrayal has more than its share of twists, turns, and red herrings....Wartime Oak Ridge proves nearly as atmospheric a crime scene as Sam Spade's San Francisco or Philip Marlowe's L.A." — Wilmington Star News
"This series...just keeps getting better. [Bones of Betrayal] features both the most compelling story and the best portrayal yet of Brockton, who has completed the transition from fictional representation of coauthor Bass to fully realized protagonist." — Booklist
"The forensic thriller meets a formidable slice of history in Jefferson Bass's impressive new novel....In addition to being a riveting mystery with an intricately emotional conclusion, Bones of Betrayal bears witness to the past with great respect for the long shadow it casts." — Washington Post

November 10, 2008
In bestseller Bass’s average fourth forensic thriller to feature Dr. Bill Brockton (after The Devil’s Bones
), a frozen corpse found in a lake near the Oak Ridge, Tenn., nuclear research facility turns out to be that of Dr. Leonard Novak, one of the leaders of the Manhattan Project, the secret government program to build the first atomic bomb during WWII. When the source of death, potent radioactive material the old man somehow ingested, poisons the local medical examiner, Brockton’s inquiry takes on added urgency. After meeting Novak’s ex-wife at his funeral, Brockton wonders if there might be a link between the present-day murder and long-forgotten events; with the aid of an attractive local librarian, he starts to dig into Oak Ridge’s past. Given the small pool of suspects, many readers will guess the killer’s identity before it’s revealed. Those looking for a more evocative portrait of the paranoid atmosphere surrounding the Manhattan Project should seek out Joseph Kanon’s Los Alamos
