Description
The Bone Collection presents Kathy Reichs's trademark artistry in this collection of thrilling short fiction featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.
In "First Bones," a prequel to Reichs's first novel, DejaDead, she reveals the tale of how Tempe became a forensic anthropologist. In this previously unpublished story, Tempe recalls the case that lured her from a promising career in academia into the grim but addictive world of criminal investigation. It all began with a visit from a pair of detectives and a John Doe recovered from an arson scene in a trailer.
The collection is rounded out with three more stories that take Tempe from the low country of the Florida Everglades, where she makes a grisly discovery in the stomach of an eighteen-foot Burmese python, to the heights of Mount Everest, where a frozen corpse is unearthed.
A collection of pulse-pounding tales featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, including the untold story of her first case. No matter where she goes, Tempe's cases make for the most gripping reading.
